Very concerning .NHS England that yet again there is no mention of AHPs. You will not get the care and transformation of services without major investment in more AHPs and more AHP support workers.

Living with long term conditions often involves a lot of work and generally increased hassle. I follow lots of people with #PKU who need a specific diet. How frustrating it must be for people to deal with this sort of thing. Hope you get some better biscuits soon Pauline O'Connor!

Can British Dietetic Association BDA Trade Union include & explain why The RCN is negotiating a different pay spine for nurses & policy framework. Are #dietitians #AHPs of less value? Have we not experienced the same challenges with recruitment and retention? I don’t understand so #notoaccept
