Hi! I'm Nusrat and I'm a Registered Dietitian. I am a Yorkshire lass, with over 13 years' experience of working in the NHS and a few years freelancing. My interests in dietetics include diabetes, public health, as well as sports and exercise nutrition. Additionally, I have a keen interest in reducing health inequalities in ethnic minorities in the UK and pro-actively trying new things to address this. I enjoy a variety of volunteering roles, most of which are in the BDA and others with Diabetes101 and Diabetes UK. I love teaching others and learning new things!
