About us
Welcome to the BDA Public Health Specialist Group.
We aim to support dietitians working to improve and protect the health of the population through good nutrition. We support dietitians to incorporate public health into their daily practice, as well as support dietitians specialising in public health.
Food and nutrition issues lie at the heart of many of today’s public health challenges. We work to raise the profile and importance of public health nutrition and the critical role this has in the prevention of illness and disease and reducing health inequalities.
We are involved in a number of public health initiatives and projects with the BDA specialist groups and policy and campaign team, plus other external organisations.
We welcome any dietetic professional who has a public health element to their role, no matter how small, to join the group, add to the development of the group and contribute to the voice of public health within the BDA.
All dietitians are public health dietitians.
