About us
The BDA GI Sub-Group is part of the Oncology specialist group. The committee is formed of Dietitians who have worked in, currently work or have a specialist interest in all GI cancers. The committee is represented by Dietitians from across the UK.
We welcome more Dietitians from across the UK to join. It is a great way to network, learn more and share experiences from working in GI oncology.
The group is keen to work alongside professional bodies and associations, striving to promoting Dietetics within GI oncology dietetics. We welcome collaborative working with charities and aim to ensure accurate information is being provided to our patient cohort.
Aims

- To provide advice to charities and other organisations with respect to nutrition in the GI patient at any point during the treatment pathway.
