First Contact Dietitians Specialist Group Study Day - The evolving role of dietitians in primary care: what does the future hold?

Hosted by First Contact Dietitians Specialist Group

Calling all dietitians working in primary care.

We are excited to welcome you to our first ever study day. We have come a long way since dietitians started to be integrated into primary care around 2020. This study day aims to showcase what we have done up until now and what the future holds for us working in primary care and first contact practice. 

We have speakers and sessions from across the country and across the five areas of the roadmap specialities (gastroenterology, malnutrition and frailty obesity, diabetes and paediatrics), we will also be running more general sessions on topics that will be helpful for all dietitians in primary care, with Networking, updates and sharing good practices to help you to make the most of these exciting and innovative roles.
