Agree fresh thinking often comes from students and new recruits.

I watched the Good Morning Britain segment on calories on menus today and I am truly baffled by some of what Dr. Hilary Jones MBE has said. Firstly, that people with ‘the most severe eating disorder’, anorexia, don’t go to restaurants. This shows a woeful 2D understanding of anorexia.

Such an important 🧵 Sharleen Woods MSc PgDip RD Some sessions I might think I’ll be using MI 2 empower change. Then the patient turns up in distress & clearly just needs to be heard. So I listen actively for 25 mins. Then I might end with suggesting possible actions ie giving advice 😱😉

Thanks for taking the time Dr Ivor Hugh Janus It is important people understand this stuff.

Thanks British Dietetic Association Really important that we take leadership on this now. Crucial and exciting work. Might be for you.

Lots of great reasons to stick with recovery Iridescent Starfish 🧜🏼‍♀️❄️🌊💜🌈 The ED gives so many reasons not to recover so important to create space to shift thinking to the value of recovery. Sending strength as you push forward with all this.

Dancers allege body-shaming + bullying at UK ballet schools. Culture change needed. Would like to see mental health + dietetic staff embedded in these schools. #bodyimage #eatingdisorderprevention #mentalhealth #dietetics bbc.co.uk/news/uk-676906…

Really helpful paper that should prompt debate + exploration of new ways of working. Those who developed SSCM commented on how well dietitians delivered that intervention for example. Trans professional working is nothing new. Thanks for sharing The Chatty Dietitian
