TEMPLE

TEMPLE (Tools Enabling Metabolic Parents LEarning) are a set of teaching slides and booklets that provide essential information about different inherited metabolic disorders that require special diets as part of their management. These teaching tools are aimed at parents who may have an infant or child that has been recently diagnosed with a disorder, but they are also useful when teaching children, extended family members, child minders, nursery workers and school team.

They are not designed to replace dietary information that may be given by a dietitian in clinic.

They have been developed by a team of experienced clinical and research metabolic dietitians from the UK who are members of the British Inherited Metabolic Disease Group (BIMDG).

The team are Rachel Skeath, Karen van Wyk, Pat Portnoi and Anita MacDonald. The group is facilitated by Heidi Chan from Nutricia.

Each module produced is reviewed by a consultant clinician who is a member of the BIMDG.

(N.B. These teaching tools are a modified version of the original TEMPLE information package designed by Dr's Wendel and Burgard from Heidelberg, Germany)
