ABSTRACT
Nutritional screening is the process of identifying people at risk of malnourishment.
The Malnutrition Advisory Group (MAG), part of BAPEN, developed ‘MUST’
for use with adults at risk of malnutrition (Todorovic et al. 2003). ‘MUST’ is
downloadable from www.bapen.org.uk along with detailed screening guidelines and
is advocated as the tool that all healthcare settings should be using. The components
of the tool and its usage are presented next, but do refer to the website documents
for further explanation.
