Dietitians Week 2024

From classroom, to clinic and beyond

A career in dietetics is lifelong. For some, an interest starts at school, perhaps from having experience working with a dietitian or simply from being excited by food. For others it presents itself later in life, as a second career choice, or even by chance.

Whichever route into this brilliant career, dietetics supports you professionally and personally at every stage. It’s a diverse career that helps people, opens new doors, continuously develops with new roles and specialisms and gives you the opportunity to progress.

From classroom, to clinic and beyond is this year’s campaign for Dietitians Week 2024, which will run from 3-7 June.

This year is an opportunity to go right back to the start, from early days studying dietetics, to revisiting those first roles as a registered dietitian or support worker. You might even be about to embark on that exciting journey.

We’ll explore all the different roles and career routes that make up our membership, whether working freelance, in research, in industry, in education, in the NHS or the many others.

We’ll also delve into where a career in dietetics may lead, celebrating those of you who have done exceptional things this year and those who are making huge strides to progress in their chosen field. This is particularly poignant this year as we join together for the BDA Awards, which will be held during the week.

As usual we’ve got lots planned, including the return of our hugely popular Dietetic Bake Off, daily themes for you to get involved with and resource packs to help you celebrate. Keep an eye out on the BDA website for the latest updates.

We’re so excited to celebrate this lifelong career with you, this Dietitians Week.
