About us
The Trauma Sub-Group offers a safe and supportive forum for members to connect, share advice, and network with colleagues working in trauma dietetics.
As the sub-group continues to grow, our goals include:
- Advancing the trauma specialism: Promote and develop the role of trauma dietitians within the wider dietetic community.
- Raising the professional profile: Represent trauma dietitians and increase awareness of their critical contributions.
- Sharing evidence-based knowledge: Serve as a resource for the exchange of up-to-date, evidence-based dietetic practices spanning from Critical Care through to rehabilitation.
- Supporting best practice: Help dietitians working in trauma to implement and maintain evidence-based approaches.
- Advocating expertise: Act as a collective voice to represent the professional expertise of trauma dietitians.
- Facilitating communication and collaboration: Use platforms like Basecamp to foster discussion, support, and networking opportunities.
- Driving development: Collaborate on mission statements, guidelines, and other key projects to shape the future of trauma dietetics.
