Congratulations to our IrSPEN2021 Poster Winners

The IrSPEN Board is pleased to announce the IrSPEN2021 Poster Winners.  As expected, the standard of poster submissions this year was very high.  Our seven winners were selected based on a number of criteria, most important of which is the potential of their research to advance our knowledge and/or practice of nutritional care for patient benefit.
