Abstract
Nutritional assessment and treatment, necessary for the prevention and treatment of disease-related malnutrition, should be carried out by a multidisciplinary team where each member has well-defined skills and functions, and mechanisms are established to allow adequate coordination, both in the inpatient and outpatient settings. In Spain, the development and implementation of these teams or units dedicated to clinical nutrition has been very important: today they are present in most hospitals. This paper reviews the characteristics of clinical nutrition units, the functions of their team members, and the regulatory framework in our country.
