AuSPEN is the oldest parenteral nutrition society founded in 1973 with the aim to promote the science of nutrition support. A multidisciplinary society recognises that nutrition care is the responsibility of everyone involved with patient care from hospital clinical staff to funders and the community providers. Through our education endeavours, our advocacy and guideline setting we aim to improve the patient journey through safe, timely nutrition care. We hope you will join the society today and help us to advance best practice in nutritional care.
