NNEdPro is an award-winning, interdisciplinary think-tank, training academy and knowledge network anchored in Cambridge which provides a centre for global excellence, whilst working without borders. Our work has focused on developing adaptable and scalable models for medical nutrition education combining clinical/public health knowledge with leadership training to aid implementation in healthcare settings. On another hand, we have also undertaken a range of primary research studies and syntheses to fill key evidence gaps. In addition, our international work has defined a common denominator of knowledge required to translate Nutrition to practice in multiple settings, whilst appreciating key regional differences.
Our principal hubs are in Cambridge, London, Ulster and Parma. Our international networks, including regional hubs, extend from the Americas, through Africa and South Asia to Australasia. We work via strategic partnerships and key collaborations, connecting both individuals and institutions through membership of our academy as well as working via the members of our ‘virtual core’ and ‘specialised networks’. Working closely with diverse professional groups enables an inter-disciplinary knowledge-base that is greater than the sum of its parts. As we mark a decade of activity it is important to acknowledge those institutions or organisations which form our knowledge vanguard today, amplifying our impact footprint from science to society.
Our Vision: to establish the NNEdPro Global Centre for Nutrition and Health as a world leading and highly innovative think-tank, training academy and knowledge network, bringing together the best of education, research, evaluation and advocacy, particularly in Nutrition-related aspects of health and healthcare systems.
Our Mission: to develop a critical mass of self-sustaining knowledge, skills and capacity in Nutrition and Health, within the global healthcare and public health workforce, resulting in significantly improved health practices and outcomes.
In 2018, along with the BMJ Group, we are delighted to have become co-founders of its first dedicated Nutrition journal, BMJ Nutrition, Prevention and Health, which will be an important vehicle for the translation of high-quality open knowledge to strengthen evidence-informed health policy and practice.
