Summer Conference 2022 in pictures

Hosted collaboratively by Sheffield Hallam University, The University of Sheffield and Sheffield City Council, the three day conference provided a wide ranging overview of the pathways to a sustainable future in food and nutrition

The scientific programme covered a diverse spectrum of topics, ranging from the challenges of providing healthy, sustainable and equitable diets for all, to the potential for biofortification as a strategy to address inequalities in health, to exercise and dietary considerations for men with prostate cancer. In addition to the six symposia, two plenary lectures and two award lectures, delegates were able to enjoy 78 Oral Communications.

Ideas for Careers

The Nutrition Society Training Academy’s popular ‘Ideas for Careers’ workshop provided delegates with the opportunity to build collaborative relationships with fellow nutrition professionals to take forward into the future. Questions ranged from ‘How do I get more clients as a freelance nutritionist?’ through to ‘How long does the Association for Nutrition take to approve an application?

The local organisers created a social programme that aligned with the ‘sustainability’ theme; with a plant-based breakfast food truck and a networking event on day one: ‘Greener, Fairer, Healthier’ showcasing a range of local produce and products from Sheffield. Delegates were also able to explore the outskirts of the city through morning runs and walks, or take a pause with some morning yoga.

Invited speaker reviews and Original Communications will all be published in Proceedings of the Nutrition Society. Log into your members area for full access to the journal.

Celebrating 75 years of BJN

To celebrate the 75th Anniversary of the Society’s flagship journal: British Journal of Nutrition, a special networking event took place. Previous Silver Medal award winners provided insight into developments in their own research areas and new frontiers in nutrition science.

Huge thank you and well done to the @HallamFood and @NutritionSoc teams for an inspiring, informative and fun few days. Excellent sessions and even better to catch up with friends after too many years away. Glad there was the reliable NutSoc dancing too!! #NSSheff22 #NSSummer22
