"Whether it's arranging special diets for patients or conducting nutrition related training with front line team members my role as a Healthcare Nutritionist for Medirest involves supporting patients’ nutrition and hydration on many different levels".

We asked our Medirest nutritionist Heather Dolan @KingsCollegeNHS

What’s your role in providing patients with adequate nutrition and hydration whilst in hospital?

Nutrition & dietetics wouldn't exist without the pioneering scientific discoveries of women

As a discipline we work on science from cells to society

Biochemistry, physiology, food chemistry, nutrition, psychology, public health... and more

Happy #WorldPulsesDay! 🌱

#Pulses not only taste delicious, but they're also a great choice for both you and the environment.

🧑🏾‍🤝‍🧑🏼 They are a low fat, high fibre source of protein that is full of vitamins & minerals.
🌍They have a low carbon footprint and enrich the soil.

[Ali Booker 💙 @AliBooker_RD]

Dietetics is a small (often misunderstood) profession. Yet even as a NQ RD I’ve been told on numerous occasions, “When I experienced x the Dietitian literally kept me alive.”

So this tweet is for all my dietetic colleagues, saving lives in the NHS everyday 💙
