The BDA General Education Trust (GET) is pleased to announce that there will be an opportunity for three full members of the BDA to attend the 16th International Congress of Dietetics in Sydney Australia, 5th – 7th September 2012.
The programme theme, LEAP (Leadership, Evidence and Advancing Practice) will allow delegates to present and share work at a global level.
The GET will pay a contribution of £2200 to support each of the three members to attend if they have an abstract accepted.

- The British Dietetic Association, founded in 1936, is the professional association for registered dietitians in Great Britain and Northern Ireland. It is the nation’s largest organisation of food and nutrition professionals with over 6,000 members.
- Registered dietitians are the only qualified health professionals that assess, diagnose and treat diet and nutrition problems at an individual and wider public health level. Uniquely, dietitians use the most up to date public health and scientific research on food, health and disease, which they translate into practical guidance to enable people to make appropriate lifestyle and food choices.
- Dietitians are the only nutrition professionals to be statutorily regulated, and governed by an ethical code, to ensure that they always work to the highest standard. Dietitians work in the NHS, private practice, industry, education, research, sport, media, public relations, publishing, Non Government Organisations and government. Their advice influences food and health policy across the spectrum from government, local communities and individuals.
