Professor Jane Murphy, Professor of Nutrition at BU, said: 鈥淚t鈥檚 been a privilege to work with the team of academics and practitioners from across the UK and co-create a new hub that provides easy accessible, evidence-informed information about nutrition and Covid-19 for public and health care professionals.鈥�
欧美性爱片students have also helped to co-produce outputs to support the creation of the knowledge hub, including a to help understand the delivery of nutrition care pathways for people with Covid-19.
The hub asks people about their current diet, offers assistance on understanding evidence, and signposts to relevant, reliable and research-informed content to help.
