P020 Vitamin supplementation survey: an audit of the usage of vitamin D supplementation in paediatric patients, pregnant women and breastfeeding mothers

Abstract

A lack of vitamin D can lead to skeletal deformities and disturbances in growth.1 The Scientific Advisory Committee on Nutrition (SACN) published a report in July 2016 making new recommendations for vitamin D supplementation. Subsequently, our local guidelines were updated on the supplementation of vitamin D in the paediatric population, pregnant women, and breastfeeding mothers.
