Hosted by Sustainable Diets Specialist Group
The first in a series of open collaborative workshops and networking event to discuss how sustainability is implemented into Dietetic practice and how Dietitians contribute to net zero. This first workshop will agree key focus areas for guidance where we will delve into and explore the first focus area, plant-based by default. Further workshops will explore all other areas identified in this workshop.
This meeting will provide the opportunity to meet, exchange and network with colleague’s active as well as those not yet implementing but interested in this new roadmap on this important area of dietetic practice. Whether you are implementing yet or not we invite all Dietitians and BDA members across specialist groups and places of work to attend, meet up and exchange on all thoughts, experiences, barriers and enablers and have your say. We have created what we hope will be a safe and productive space to hear and share all experiences and views.
