Hosted in collaboration with Sustainable Diets Specialist Group
We cannot prevent a global warming of 1.5 °C without changing the way we eat. Achieving a healthy and sustainable food future is an urgent matter that depends on global collaborative efforts. Dietitians have a critical role to play in helping to integrate sustainability into practice at speed and appropriately across sectors including the NHS, yet the majority of post registration dietitians have not been trained on this topic. Join this lunchtime webinar to hear about how some Dietitians are delivering on the green agenda with special attention given to NHS policy and guidance around sustainability and net zero and what this now means for Dietetics.
Join our expert panel guests over lunch to explore some of the big questions on sustainability in relation to Dietetics;
