• To be able to communicate highly complex nutrition and dietetic information relating to intestinal failure (e.g. aetiology, impact on oral nutrition, requirements for artificial nutrition) in an understandable form to patients, staff and carers, requiring negotiation, persuasion, motivation and counselling skills including situations where there are barriers to understanding.
• To be able to lead on discussions with patients, family members and healthcare professionals about highly emotive and ethical issues regarding nutrition support including appropriateness of artificial nutrition support in palliative care and withdrawal of nutrition at end of life.
