What's New in PEN Global


New PETS in PEN

PETs (Practice-based Evidence Toolkits) will replace Practice Guidance Summaries (PGSs) and make access to practice information and tools more accessible through separate Nutrition Care Process sections and are presented in a format consistent with International Dietetics & Nutrition Terminology (IDNT). Other great features include calculators: BMI for Adults, BMI for Children and a Metric Converter and country-specific information available for Canada, Australia, New Zealand and the United Kingdom where appropriate.

PEN proudly flies the flags of the countries participating in the global PEN partnership. For tools and resources, the flags appear next to the titles to help you identify tools or resources containing content that is country specific. You may also see more than one flag next to a tool or resource title. This means that the tool meets the guidelines for those specific countries. A tool or resource without any flags means that it contains advice that is broadly applicable. For knowledge pathways, the flags indicate that experts from that country have reviewed some or all of the content to ensure country-specific policy documents or guidelines have been incorporated into the key practice points, evidence statements and references.
