Abstract

A multidisciplinary approach is necessary for nutrition therapy to be effective. A nutrition teams may have varying duties and obligations according on hospitals, institutions, and nations. The purpose of the review is to present a comparative examination of the organization and structure of these units based on the work of a researcher who collaborated with the nutrition teams of two different nations. At the end of the review, the differences between Türkiye and France nutrition teams were outlined and it was aimed to plan future research that would include examples of good practice in both countries.
