NUTRI-HAB - Posttreatment Rehabilitation of Nutrition Impact Symptoms in Head and Neck Cancer Survivors

"The rehabilitation program is a coordinated multidisciplinary effort involving several specialists e.g. clinical dietitians, nurses, physiotherapists, occupational therapists (responsible for dysphagia management in Denmark), psychologists and social workers.~The program includes group sessions with patient education on how to handle the different aspects of living with eating problems and other late effects. Practical kitchen exercises, physical activity sessions and instruction in swallowing training are included. Individual counseling sessions with clinical dietitians and other health professionals (e.g. physicians) are offered depending on participants' needs.~Participants stay at the premises and all meals throughout the day are served in the dining room or in the café. Foods of different textures and flavors are served to inspire participants and to allow them to experiment.~Between the initial stay and follow-up participants are contacted twice by a clinical dietitian."
