Today BDA Paediatric Group & BDA Food Allergy host their Complementary Feeding and Food Allergy Study Day in London Take a look at the work the groups do plus the recently launched cows milk protein allergy weaning pack ow.ly/wDfO50siAcO

Repeated exposure and tactile play needed to promote acceptability of foods during complementary feeding. Studies show 3-4 tries before parents stop giving that particular food. Key message- keep going!! Presentation from Jackie Blisset, Professor of #ChildhoodEatingBehaviour

As #DietitansWeek2019 draws to a close, here are a few of the things that I have done the past 2 weeks alone; clinics across various specialties, acute ward work, allergy awareness work, teaching to health professionals including medical consultants. Just some #WhatDietiansDo

Not to mention to mention the work I do as part of the oh so important #multidisciplinaryteam and the coursework I have submitted for the module in MSc Advanced Professional Practice for #Paediatric #dietetics that I recently completed. #DietitansWeek2019 #WhatDietiansDo

Great to see the fantastic staff at Western Sussex Hospitals keeping our patients not only cool but hydrated in this hot weather #wshft #nutritionandhydration

#AHPsDay I pledge to continue to extended the training that I deliver to first contact clinicians, so that #dietetic referrals are always appropriate and timely. This way patients receive the right care at the right time and the #dietitian’s time is used most effectively #wshft

Officially hanging up my frog today as I say goodbye to Worthing Hospital and all the lovely colleagues and friends I’ve made in my two and a half years at this lovely place. Next stop: The Evelina Children’s Hospital at St Thomas’ in London. #wshft #wsht #worthinghospital

Another year draws to a close. I find myself looking back over a wild and wonderful working year. It started off being redeployed to cover adult COVID-19 wards, then I started an acute rotation in general medicine and surgery, then returned to my allergy family Evelina London

I love my #nhs job. Becoming a #Dietitian is the best decision I ever made. Merry Christmas to my patients, their families, my wonderful colleagues, and all you lovely lot.

First day back at work Evelina London after the Christmas and New Year celebrations back with the family in Aberdeen. Here’s hoping for being able to ease back on into the swing of things. Let’s do this!

After a quick winter dose of #vitamind in the form of a short holiday to Tenerife, it’s back to work today in chilly #london. Feeling reenergised, and ready to go.

Well this was a lovely start to the morning. Some fantastic feedback from a very satisfied parent. Helping families is why I love my job as a #PaediatricDietitian so much British Dietetic Association BDA Paediatric Group. The Evelina London is an amazing place to work.

Always lovely to see that our patients love coming in to see us as much as we love seeing them.

It was a pleasure to have joined you. Lots of great questions, and has really helped me to consider how tertiary care practices can be relayed and implemented in primary care. Thanks for having me FirstDietitians

Big shoutout to the very friendly train conductor onboard the 13:45 train from Glasgow Queen Street to Aberdeen ScotRail service, for handing out water to the passengers to keep everyone hydrated and safe on this scorching hot day. Now that’s customer service!
