This week we highlighted the breadth of work our incredible dieticians do every day across our hospitals and communities. 🥦 At The Royal London Hospital: Our paediatric and adult dietitians hosted interactive stands showcasing specialist dietary support, practical nutrition tools and demonstrations of clinical nutrition equipment. 🥦 At Whipps Cross Hospital: The team ran an engaging stand where staff and visitors tested their nutrition knowledge, compared handgrip strength and learned more about the role of dietitians in acute care. 🥦 At Newham University Hospital: The team hosted a healthy eating and plant based diet stand that encouraged conversations about balanced nutrition and healthier food choices. Dietitians play a vital role across paediatric and community care, acute nutrition support, specialist diet education and the promotion of healthy lifestyles. They also spend significant time training colleagues and supporting the management of nutrition and hydration across the trust. We’re proud to celebrate all of our dietitians for everything they do, and thank you to everyone who stopped by, took part in activities and helped us celebrate Dietitians Week across our hospitals. 🌟
