Existing members, help us grow the dietetic community

Around 80% of HCPC registered dietitians, 1,000+ dietetic students and hundreds of dietetic support staff/assistant practitioners, nutritionists and international dietitians are already members of the vibrant BDA membership community. As the professional body and trade union for the dietetic profession, our members believe that "all of the dietetic workforce (and all dietetic students) should be a member of the BDA." (Member survey feedback.)

Read what some of our existing members recently said about being a part of the BDA community:

"My BDA membership is essential to me. Engagement with the BDA and specifically the specialist groups allows for me to help engender change within the profession not just locally but nationally."

"It feels like as essential element of being a member of the profession - for the networking, the specialist groups, the branches, the CPD opportunities, the resources, the indemnity insurance, all the work on curriculum and student training etc. Its a no brainer!"
