MUST Screening for GP’s
The Malnutrition Universal Screening Tool (MUST), was developed for use by healthcare
professionals in both the hospital and community setting. The MUST screening tool is
evidence based, validated, reliable and easy to use.
It uses factors such as Body Mass Index, weight loss and the
presence of disease to assess current nutritional status.
The MUST screening tool is ideal for identifying people at risk of malnutrition
and implementing the appropriate care plan to promote health.

Peaknutrition can help train GP’s on the successful screening of patients or alternatively
the GP can refer the patient to Peaknutrition for a nutritional assessment.
