The BDA Honours recognise and reward BDA members who go above and beyond, those who inspire others and are making a real difference.
Fellowship is the highest honour which the Association can bestow upon a member in recognition of their achievements. Fellowship of the Association was first awarded in 1979 and more than 100 Fellowships have been awarded since. Fellowship is nominated by peers and reflects personal commitment and significant contribution to the profession of dietetics and to the activities of the BDA.
The Ibex is an honour for Professional Achievement created to thank individuals who have made significant contributions to the profession either locally or in a dietetic specialism.
