A dedicated day for our members in Scotland, the theme of the day is exploring the four pillars of practice of dietetics in Scotland.
Join to discuss together how we can address the challenges of nutrition and dietetics. We need to ensure we don't lose momentum in recognising and raising the visibility of dietitians across the health and social care landscape and beyond. The programme will consider at an individual and departmental level, how the 4 pillars of practice can support career pathways and the future of dietetics.
Why attend?
- Identify the unique leadership challenges and opportunities facing dietitians in health and social care
- Raise the visibility of dietitians as leaders in health and social care
- Gain a deeper understanding of our responsibilities around advocacy
- Create and develop a lasting network of BDA members in Scotland who are active in creating change across the health and social care landscape and beyond
- Experience the benefits of a digital-first approach and utilise the benefits of social media
The programme will cover a range of topics including mental health, advancing practice for the workforce, prehabilitation, weight stigma, the digital first approach, empowerment and leadership with each session covering leadership and digital.
