Consulting and Cooperation Groups

Collaborating across disciplines and institutions to advance clinical nutrition in Georgia and beyond

Our Collaborative Framework

GESPEN believes that progress in clinical nutrition can only be achieved through collaboration.

Our consulting groups consist of representatives from GESPEN and leading experts from cooperating organizations - including hospitals, universities, research institutes, and health authorities.

Together, these groups provide scientific, clinical, and educational consulting to improve nutritional care, training, and policy-making in Georgia.

Each consulting group brings together professionals from GESPEN and from partner societies to share expertise and align efforts in clinical nutrition and public health

Cooperating Societies and Leaders

How the Consulting Groups Operate

Consulting groups meet quarterly to review progress, share updates , and discuss national challanges in nutrition care and education.

Reports and recommendations from these meetings are shared with the GESPEN Executive Board and, where relevant, with public health authorities.

This interdisciplinary framework ensures that our strategies remain evidence-based, pracical, and nationally relevant.
