Our members always do a fantastic job of promoting the profession via tabletop stands and innovative promotion at their workplaces and we’re sure 2017 will be no different. We’re also working with partners from Sense about Science, the Science Media Centre and the British Nutrition Foundation to promote the week and important messages
about science and evidence. The BNF are holding their Healthy Eating Week during the same week, so we’ll be cross-promoting throughout the week. If you want more information on DW2017, you can visit the website at www. dietitiansweek.co.uk, or get in touch by emailing dietitiansweek@bda.uk.com.
