The BDA Honours recognise and reward BDA members who go above and beyond, those who inspire others and are making a real difference.
Fellowship is the highest honour which the Association can bestow upon a member in recognition of their achievements. Fellowship of the Association was first awarded in 1979 and more than 100 Fellowships have been awarded since. Fellowship is nominated by peers and reflects outstanding personal commitment and exceptional contribution to the profession of dietetics and to the activities of the BDA.
The Professional Achievement honour, launched in 2023, is given in recognition of outstanding personal commitment and exceptional contributions to the profession of dietetics.
Honorary Associate is bestowed upon an individual who is not a member of the BDA and has made an exceptional contribution to the advancement of the dietetic profession and/or to the activities of the BDA.
The Ibex is an honour created to thank any member of the BDA who has shown significant personal commitment and contributions to the profession either locally, regionally or in a dietetic specialism.
The Edith Elliot Honour recognises a significant contribution for over five years, by members at any stage in their career.
