Speakers
-
Dr Hazreen Abdul Majid, Associate Professor and Course Lead in Dietetics, AECC University College
Hazreen obtained his PhD from King’s College London. He was the Head of Centre for Population Health Research and a Professor at the Department of Social and Preventive Medicine, University of Malaya. He was a visiting fellow at the Harvard Chan School of Public Health and a faculty member for the Doctorate in Public Health program at the Department of Social and Preventive Medicine, Faculty of Medicine, University of Malaya. As a trained dietitian, his doctoral dissertation made some scientific contributions to clinical nutrition in understanding the mechanisms of prebiotics in reducing diarrhoea for intensive care unit patients receiving enteral nutrition. This ongoing work has been extended to the usage of both pre and probiotics in intensive care units. In addition to some clinical work and research, he had experience in developing collaborative partnerships at the local and state levels for nationally and internationally funded cohort and community-based studies. He had also worked as a dietitian in the UK and in Malaysia.
Hazreen will present an update about the role of pre/ probiotics in altering microbiota in the management of intensive care patients
Hazreen will cover enteral nutrition, nutritional support given to critical care patients to prevent malnutrition. However, critically ill patients undergo early impairment of their gut microbiota due to routine antibiotic therapies and other environmental factors leading to intestinal dysbiosis. It is important to understand the latest updates on how pre or probiotics potentially help with the gut microbiota impairment.

Obesity is an ongoing health problem and patients are keen to resolve this and achieve optimal quality of life. Waiting lists for surgery on the NHS continue to grow. As a result patients are looking at alternatives and seeking bariatric surgery privately or abroad. They frequently do not get the follow-up care they need and end up within our services whilst adverse events of their surgery are managed. We will explore a case study of a patient admitted to the critical care unit post bariatric surgery needing parenteral nutrition.
