Nutrition - Personalised Nutrition

Personalised Nutrition

This postgraduate programme in Personalised Nutrition is an intellectually stimulating and rigorous course of study (see modules below) designed to cultivate an evidence-based, personalised nutrition approach and promote lifelong learning and career opportunities for graduates.



This advanced study programme, created and first delivered in 2012 by CNELM, is designed to serve healthcare professionals keen to expand their understanding and practice of person-centred nutrition and medicine. It attracts great interest from nutritional therapists, as well as other health professionals including doctors, pharmacists, nurses, psychologists, nutritionists and complementary therapists.



Personalised Medicine is a rapidly emerging approach that will revolutionise the current medical paradigm. Personalisation is particularly applicable to the field of Nutrition, and over the next decade CNELM is investing in building a research centre focused on Evidence-Based Personalised Nutrition and Evidence-Based Health Coaching.
