9.35 to 10.30 - `Acute vs Aged Care- Menu Mayhem- Think Strategically`
Speaker: Anne Schneyder NPA

Food Service Managers are faced with a variety of menu planning standards and guidelines. The recommended optimal menu structure differs according to the setting, accreditation standards, the size of the facility, government requirements and client preferences. Facilities which incorporate an acute care hospital, aged care beds and who also provide Meals on Wheels meals are faced with the potential need to provide differing items in each setting.   Anne Schneyder will outline the various menu planning guidelines in the acute and residential care settings and will provide an overview of the Dietitians Association of Australia’s scoping project for menu planning standards in aged care.
