Chair Dr. Maria Ballesteros, Endocrinologist from Spain will chair the meeting, hosting three international experts:

  • Prof. Elisabeth De Waele (BE) will follow on from Dr. Van Zanten’s presentation to speak on importance of timing in protein delivery for those patients who have stepped down from the ICU into the ward setting
  • Finally, Prof. Paul Wischmeyer (US) will present about the importance of the continuum of nutritional care post discharge and embedding nutrition from recovery and beyond.
