I’m so inspired by our Masters of #Nutrition and #Dietetics students presentations from their public health placements. They have been working with #localcouncils, #sportingclubs and #NGOs to improve the #foodenvironment for many #Victorians

The transformation of #pregnancycare to a mix of #telehealth and in person care has benefits for clients and providers, including significant cost savings, especially on transport costs. Thanks for sharing your impromptu COVID pandemic research @DrKPalmer

Leveraging children’s interest in technology for a web based Better Health Program can provide improved physical and diet related outcomes for kids and parents. Great presentation Diana Zhu!

[Merran Blair @MerranBlair]

Our goal as researchers and educators is to connect with our communities so we can work out what we have to offer to #students and #consumers. Great insights on Day 2 #Learning and #Teaching Conference. Thanks @Monash_Academy for a great conference

Heading in for Day 2 of the @MonashUni #Learning and #Teaching Conference. Highlights from day 1 were imaging the life of a student in 2034 that includes connection, flexibility and purpose. And, students say they need training for effective use of AI

[Merran Blair @MerranBlair]

Thank you Monash EDI team for a great presentation on Designing Learning with #neurodiversity and #mentalhealth in mind. We can all aim for #culturallysafe and #traumainformed teaching to support all of our students to learn. Education should be safe and accessible to all

[Merran Blair @MerranBlair]

What a great opportunity to share the love of food with future #Nutrition #Professionals. Love it!

[Tammie ST Choi @tammie_choi]

This is how we begin the #dietetictraining journey at @MonashNutrition! Not with a bang 💥 but with a #potluck and having a conversation about meaning of food 😋

[Merran Blair @MerranBlair]

@M4hbubS Nice work Mahbub!

[Merran Blair @MerranBlair]

#CALD #healthprofessional students develop their communication skills through pre placement preparation, utilising university supports and practicing in various environments. They value educator support, but educators may need more training and support. Thanks @DrSharonYahalom

[Merran Blair @MerranBlair]

More work still needed in including work from diverse countries, a wider range of methodologies, better reporting standards and increased word counts from journals to allow for better reporting

[Merran Blair @MerranBlair]

A very impressive audience for @M4hbubS on the final day of #ANZAHPE2024. #HPE researchers are publishing more, getting better at collaboration, increasingly using #qualitative methodologies and getting better at reporting philosophical positioning 🧵 1/2

[Merran Blair @MerranBlair]

An urgent call for #planetaryhealth to be imbedded within #hpe from @JuliaMccartan. Utilising #codesign and leveraging #students personal and professional #values leads to positive student engagement #ANZAHPE2024

[Merran Blair @MerranBlair]

First Nations innovation “prioritises #sustainability, community #wellbeing and harmony with the natural world”. A great start to the final day of #ANZAHPE2024

[Merran Blair @MerranBlair]

I’m looking forward to implementing a private practice placement at @MonashNutrition in Semester 2. Watch this space

[Julia McCartan @JuliaMccartan]

30% of dietetics graduates work in private practice. @MerranBlair sharing her #PhD about preparedness for practice to work in this space. #HPE focus on counselling and business skills is key. @MonashNutrition private practice demonstration clinic leading the way. #ANZAHPE2024
