It is so important to thank colleagues when they make a difference. The BDA Honours recognise and reward BDA members who go above and beyond, those who inspire others and are making a real difference.
The BDA Honours Committee consider nominations all year round. If you know someone who has made a real impact on dietetics nominate them for a BDA honour today!
