Through this Postgraduate certificate, you will grow as a physiotherapist because you will be able to understand and attend to the nutritional needs of your patients in home hospitalization” 

Home hospitalization has become an effective treatment resource in recent years for patients who need special care but who, thanks to advances in healthcare technology, do not need to go to the hospital but can be cared for in their own homes. Consequently, physiotherapy professionals will be able to learn about the main advances in patient nutrition, taking into account the differences depending on the type of pathology. 

An inadequate diet can lead to patient malnutrition, especially when they are in advanced stages of their disease, so it is necessary to be monitored by physiotherapists, who could determine a diet change. Therefore, home care physiotherapists must be aware of and understand the best procedures in each case. 

With this Postgraduate certificate, professionals will be able to delve deeper into all the aspects that make home hospitalization unique and different from other physiotherapy specialties, especially focusing on the field of patient nutrition, because the treatments will differ from a geriatric patient to an oncology one, or one suffering from infection, for example, which makes it essential to examine each type of patient in greater depth.
