About us

This year's study day event is now live for bookings. Click here.

The BDA Public Health specialist group is a group of dietitians working to improve and protect the health of the population through good nutrition.

As you are aware, food and nutrition issues lie at the heart of many of today’s public health challenges, and we consider it is important that the British Dietetic Association has a means of ensuring that the professional expertise of dietitians makes the fullest possible contribution to this agenda. 

We welcome any Dietitian 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.

New leaflet 'Moving on to Cups' is now available as both an English and Welsh language version.

The group has been striving to change their communication platform to make it easier to use and enable access for all Group members. I am pleased to announce that the discussion forum on the BDA website is now ready for use and will replace the LinkedIn Group. The forum is designed to enable you to ask questions, share knowledge and resources with other Group members, so we encourage all members to utilise this resource.

To aid communication over the coming weeks the LinkedIn Group will remain live until Monday 30 November. After this time all communication should be via the BDA discussion forum.
