@dietetics_met@CarolineBoveyRD@BDA_Dietitians@SusanPriceRD@cardiffmet An excellent AGM and Elsie Widdowson lecture given by Aisling. Caroline has been an amazing BDA Chair and will be much missed. Congratulations to Susan, being Chair is a privilege and an incredible experience, Enjoy!
@liamdbergin To contextualise this, acidic fruits and very hot drinks MAY increase discomfort ( not in every case) BUT substitute with foods and fluids of similar nutritional value to ensure dietary balance is maintained.
I messaged someone who I suspected was falsely using the registered dietitian credential and I was right and they have agreed to stopped using it! I wonder how many others...
New standards for food and drink in healthcare ๐ have been published today & @BDA_FoodServ has been critical in helping to develop them. ๐ Read them here: https://t.co/6VmevFM3gz @NHSEngland
Q2 Could we look at using the superb professionals we have in our ~NHS from @BDA_Dietitians to @hospitalcaterer to also look at what's good for us when we become active, to breakfast to lunch to supper - Maybe also cooking sessions we presume everyone can cook #WeNurses
It's Malnutrition Awareness Week. So how about us medics turn over a new leaf and ask all our patients on ward rounds what they're managing to eat & drink.
Appetite is a marker of well being and nutrition support essential in recovery.

It has been a huge privilege to represent @BDA_Dietitians today at the State Funeral of Her Majesty Queen Elizabeth at Westminster Abbey. I am proud and humbled to have had the opportunity to pay my respects for a remarkable life of public service #QueenElizabethII
Shocked and devastated by the news we are hearing about the death of HM Queen Elizabeth II.
A life of duty and service. Patron of our BDA @BDA_Dietitians. An extraordinary example to us all.
In my own long life I have never known anything else.
