Brief Summary

To determine the role of nutrition in recovery from critical illness, current practice must first be understood. However, no benchmarking process currently exists for nutrition practice during critical illness, from ICU admission to hospital discharge. This vital gap requires addressing. The aim of this study is to inform and re-design models of nutrition care and generate research priorities for the future by obtaining data on nutrition provision and practice and that of consumer preference for nutrition care.
