The Department of Medical Nutrition deals with the issue of nutrition of hospitalized and outpatient children and adults in the Motol University Hospital. Based on a hospital-wide system of finding patients with nutritional risk, nutritional therapists visit these patients from the beginning of hospitalization. Based on the requirements of inpatient departments, nutritional therapists evaluate patients' energy and nutrient intake in current situations or during long-term follow-up. Nutritional therapists suggest diet or nutrition adjustments for regular or special diet regimens.

Nutritional therapists also specialize and work with teams of doctors and health professionals who deal with: DM, obesity, malnutrition, GIT disease, cystic fibrosis, eating disorders and other diseases.
