We’re excited to welcome final-year Flinders University Nutrition & Dietetics students Sarah and Gabby for their project placement at Pod!

They’re looking into how food-focused play can improve engagement and nutrition outcomes for children with disabilities and how this approach could be integrated into our practice at Pod.

We’re looking forward to seeing how their project evolves and will keep you up to date on their progress! 🤩

The nutrition support we provide can include helping with tasty recipes for different needs, such as swallowing difficulties.

We can adapt your favourite meals and recipes to different requirements but can also provide recipes already designed for the different levels of texture modification a speech pathologist may prescribe ✅

Congratulations to Flinders University student dietitians Alana and Jayde, who have completed their project placement! 🥳

Alana and Jayde have been with us for the past 10 weeks exploring the feasibility of a student-led outpatient clinic within Pod Dietetics, and delivered a presentation of their outcomes in our staff meeting last week. They produced a high quality, well-researched proposal which supported the student clinic initiative, and included recommendations for how it could be run to provide the most benefit for clients, students and our team. They were also invited to present to the Flinders University Nutrition & Dietetics department and we look forward to continuing the conversation to bring this proposal to life!

We were so pleased with their dedication to safe and ethical practice, adding valuable experience to student dietetics education, and our Pod values 💚

Thanks Alana and Jayde for all your hard work, and good luck with the remainder of your final year of study! 🥳

'Our Favourite Resource' today comes from a client, who showed us two apps that have been really helpful for him and his partner to coordinate the people in their network who want to offer help.

Gather My Crew:
"Helps people offer meaningful, practical care without overwhelm, confusion or awkward group chats."

Download from the app store 👇

https://apps.apple.com/au/app/gather-my-crew/id1595556266

HELP:
This app was developed by the Healthy End of Life Program, and "offers one central place to plan, share and connect at the end of life; ask for, offer and accept support from family and friends; keep everyone updated; and receive helpful tips about the end of life."

Download from the app store 👇

[Image description: Screenshots of the Gather My Crew App are central on the post, with a bold heading below: 'App: Gather My Crew'. Text below the heading: “Gather My Crew is used in cancer care, aged care, palliative care, sudden death, disaster recovery, mental illness, and more. The free app makes it easy to coordinate support from family, friends, neighbours and colleagues - so meals get made, kids get picked up, and no one feels forgotten.” The Pod logo is pictured in the bottom right corner and a black circle with green text saying 'Our Favourite Resources' is pictured in the top left corner. The second page has the same design, but with screenshots of the HELP app, heading: 'App: HELP' and text: “With the HELP App, your family, friends and other social connections know how they can support you at this important time in your life. People want to help but they don’t always know how to, or when. The HELP App can help to coordinate this vital support and stay socially connected.”]

What does a dietitian do? Dysphagia Edition 🍵

Today we are talking about how dietitians can help people with dysphagia, which is the medical word for difficulty swallowing.

Dysphagia is diagnosed by a speech pathologist. They provide recommendations for safer swallowing which usually involves changes to the texture of food and fluids. It can also include adjustments to the mealtime environment like special utensils, cups or swallowing strategies.

As dietitians, our goal when supporting people with dysphagia is to ensure foods are safe for their texture requirements, nutritious and enjoyable. We have a lot of creative resources and recipes we can provide, as well as working with you to make sure you're still getting your favourite meals and flavours in a texture that is safe for you ✅

If you or someone you know has difficulty swallowing and would benefit from support from a dietitian, we would love to hear from you!

Alana and Jayde, our Nutrition & Dietetics students from Flinders University are halfway through their placement!

Their project is exploring the feasibility of a student-led outpatient clinic within Pod Dietetics 👩‍🎓

So far, Alana and Jayde have:

👥 Uncovered positive perspectives from students, patients and clinicians involved in student-led clinics

💡 Interviewed experienced supervisors about the practicalities of student-led clinics

🍏 Gained valuable insights from the Pod team on making this idea a reality within their own private practice

Alana and Jayde are now working on a business case to present at our next staff meeting.

Exciting things ahead – stay tuned! 🤩

Last week, Ally had the opportunity to support a client with their decision making about a long-term feeding tube 📋

This client lives in a regional area and has a diagnosis of Motor Neurone Disease (MND). Ally set her up with a telehealth appointment and talked her through the different type of feeding tubes, feeding methods and equipment needed using our in-house PEG kit 👌

People with MND experience increased nutrition requirements, swallowing difficulties and a decrease in respiratory function. Nutrition support provided through a feeding tube can improve quality of life by decreasing the burden of having to eat frequently through the day, especially when chewing and swallowing are hard work 😮‍💨

We are incredibly proud to be able to offer people choice and control in their nutrition care, providing education that enables them to make an informed decision that is right for them ✅

Whether your child is at home or back at school, it is that time of year when lunchboxes need to be packed ready for a day full of learning and play 🤾‍♂️

Making lunchboxes five days a week can be overwhelming, along with the added pressure to consider your child’s appetite, changing food preferences, finding time to prepare the lunch boxes, and dealing with lunchbox wastage 🤯

Social media has also compounded the pressure we might put on ourselves to serve our kids the perfect lunchbox (hello Pinterest ideas!). No wonder we can sometimes feel like our child’s eating choices are a direct reflection of our parenting and our efforts.

Lets simplify the lunchbox with a quick lunchbox packing guide 👇 ➡️

🍓 1 - 2 serves of fruit
Fruit requires minimal preparation and makes a great portable snack.

🥕 1 - 2 serves of vegetables
Vegetables also require minimal preparation and are a great portable snack. These are helpful to include regularly as a consistent opportunity.

🍞 1 – 2 serves of starch
Starch or carbohydrates help fuel our children for learning and playing.

🍳 1 – 2 serves of protein
Protein helps fuel our children for learning.

🥑 1 serve of fats
Fats are important for brain development.

Remember when thinking of packing your child’s lunchbox, think safe food over new food. Offer foods that are already accepted and tolerated in your child’s diet. If you would like to provide an opportunity for your child to try a new food, make sure this happens at home first before adding it to their lunchbox. Offering new foods is well suited to their home environment where they are safe and supported.

If you have questions about your child's eating, please get in touch! Our team would love to help you out.

Happy lunchbox packing! 😋
