It is Dietitians Week this week. You never stop learning and developing in dietetics. My biggest learning curve was a Masters Degree I completed in 2013 - specialist knowledge in Weight Management which I now use every day. But it is a Counselling qualification I completed very early in my career, 1990 in fact! This qualification has probably influence my dietetic approach more than anything I have done. It taught me to understand the person, respect the person and respond to their priorities first and foremost. Because if I cannot do this, my dietary advice will be powerless.

It is Dietitians Week this week. My career path has be different to most - I started in freelance dietetics over 20 years ago, while still working in the NHS. I later took the big step into freelance full time in 2014, leaving the NHS for good - I have never looked back or regretted it! I enjoy the freedom, autonomy and responsibility of running my own business - it is hard work but absolutely worth it for the wonderful rewards I get as .

Its Dietitians week this week. My first role in dietetics was working in diabetes - it was with a highly specialist consultant endocrinologist and diabetes nurse. I have never forgotten the principles and value of team working.

Its Dietitians week this week. Today we are celebrating why we chose a career in this field - I had to think about this, as it is over 35 years ago since I made my choice!!! Mostly, it is because I have always liked to understand people and help them overcome some of the hurdles they face when trying to make the the right choices for health. https://www.bda.uk.com/asset/D5DF6AF1%2D3705%2D471E%2D8F13335C89EB0CBE/

Love this article from a registered dietitian on the BBC talking common sense - there is no 'superfoods', just super diet choices!

From matcha to pomegranate, we’re constantly told about the benefits of so-called ‘superfoods’. They often come with a hefty price tag, too. But are there cheaper alternatives that are just as good for us?
