Brilliant to see this important first report from our #NutritionNorth collaboration highlighting the stark dietary inequalities that exist.
However we do offer ideas to address these issues.

Are you a Teesside University or Plymouth University Dietetic graduate who completed a non-patient facing placement and currently working as a dietitian? If so I need your help.

Another great video from British Dietetic Association (BDA) - Practice-based learning (PBL) is everyone’s responsibility - learner, practice educator and academic.

New learning for me too - creating video content.

Politics North at 10: Job cuts, course closures, strike ballots as Universities face financial problems, what’s the solution? Did a ban on new takeaways in Tyneside cut child obesity. Could free school meals help? With Sam Rushworth, Lewis Bartoli and @lakenutrition.bsky.social #bbcpoliticsnorth
