Thank you @RespDietitians for inviting me to talk to you. It was a pleasure and I’m excited to see a group of UK dietitians who are passionate about lung cancer nutrition!

Fantastic work @RespDietitians. Have a strange feeling lots of innovative work is going to be coming our way in Respiratory Medicine for years to come with our new appointment of Ras Kahai as Highly Specialist Respiratory Dietitian @RBandH ;)

Both a wonderful friend and a dream MDT 💙❤️

[Respiratory Dietitians @RespDietitians]

Ras, @RBandH Dietitian, works with ILD patients. Fab to see her talking about the importance of nutrition as part of the @ActionPFcharity Insider Magazine – a vastly important area! #WhatDietitiansDo #DW2022

[Respiratory Dietitians @RespDietitians]

Resp dietitians are key members of the respiratory MDT to provide gold standard care. Here is Bethany, @0betbar, from @LTHTR @LthtrDietitians working with respiratory physiotherapists, to enable ventilation weaning and rehab in acutely ill patients #WhatDietitiansDo #DW2022

[Respiratory Dietitians @RespDietitians]

The next few tweets will be a snapshot what respiratory dietitians get up to in their day to day roles 💙 #WhatDietitiansDo #DW2022

[Respiratory Dietitians @RespDietitians]

As part of Dietitian’s Week 2022, we wanted to highlight the vital role of respiratory dietetics as part of the workforce! Great to see, for the 1st time, the role of Dietetics being acknowledged as part of the respiratory workforce via @BTSrespiratory #WhatDietitiansDo #DW2022

[Respiratory Dietitians @RespDietitians]

Socio-economic status has a significant impact on factors that increase risk of respiratory disease, inc. lung cancer. Cancer associated malnutrition impacts treatment choice, effectiveness, complications and survival time. Dietitians have a key role in the management of this.

[Respiratory Dietitians @RespDietitians]

(16/16) Respiratory nutrition is varied & complex. Patients’ need specialist nutritional support for best outcomes. We need our MDTs to loudly support this. We have more questions than answers but will work together to start solving a small piece of this puzzle @BTSrespiratory

[Respiratory Dietitians @RespDietitians]

(1/16) We recently had our very first UK wide respiratory dietetic meet up; a thread of the main points that we discussed anecdotally @BDA_Dietitians

[Respiratory Dietitians @RespDietitians]

(15/16) We can’t be forgetting the importance of health inequalities within respiratory medicine. Therefore we want to try and ensure this group is accessible as possible for respiratory dietitians across the country to support to help their patients.
