Reviews
“A fantastic working day on this excellent tool! It was a pleasure to meet Faith Ottery and Harriët Jager-Wittenaar. Thank you all for coming, organized and contributed to this session about the PG-SGA. I am sure that it was a very important step increasing the knowlegde about the PG-SGA and for future developments!”
– Teresa Amaral, Associate Professor, University of Porto
“I was present at the PG-SGA training course in December in 2015 in Porto, Portugal. It was a very interesting and productive course: I was able to learn all about the PG-SGA, and the nutritional screening and assessment of patients. The course was very interactive, everyone had the opportunity to participate and ask questions, and there was even a practice session with a real patient! I was also present at the PG-SGA training course in May 2016, also in Porto. In addition to the previous programme, in this course there was also a panel discussion about the application of the PG-SGA across various settings: nursing homes, primary care and hospitals, with experiences in the first person by our colleagues. I would recommend this course to everyone interested in learning about a global nutritional assessment of patients and in being one step ahead in its practice.”

“I had the great opportunity to attend the PG-SGA training course in Porto twice. The first training course in December 2015 was the first real contact with this excellent screening and nutritional assessment tool. Finally and thanks to João Pedro Pinho and Sandra Silva we now have this tool validated for the Portuguese language.
Till the next training course in May 2016 I studied the tool and it was even more special because I had the opportunity to question all my doubts to the two marvelous persons Faith Ottery and Harriët Jager-Wittenaar.
I work in an oncology setting as a dietitian and I am using the Portuguese version of the PG-SGA since May 2016. I use it especially for nutritional assessment and monitoring my patients.
It was a pleasure to meet Faith Ottery and Harriët Jager-Wittenaar and especially so grateful for the science they shared with all of us.
PG-SGA, the more I use it, the more I see how useful it is. So, do it!”
