Themes

As a result of a restructure of the Programmes and Scientific Development Committee into one Science Committee, a review of the Themes - set up to represent new and developing areas relating to nutrition science – was carried out and a reduction from nine to three Themes agreed. The new Theme Leaders will act as a direct link between the membership and the Science Committee. They will liaise with and represent the interests of Nutrition Society members.

The three Themes and Theme Leaders are:

• Cellular and Molecular Nutrition – Dr Bernard Corfe
• Public Health Nutrition – Dr Ailsa Welch
• Whole Body Metabolism – Professor Bruce Griffin 

Responsibilities of the Theme Leaders:

• Design and develop short meetings relevant to members areas of interest
• Initiate ideas for meetings, workshops and other activities designed to promote and disseminate nutritional science
• Liaise with the membership and represent their interests
• Generate and provide web content for the forums, blogs and Theme pages on the Society's website
• Facilitate where possible the responses to consultations (closed and public) and write articles for the Society's Gazette
• Coordinate provision of expert opinion on Original Communications related to a Theme submitted for presentation at a meeting of the Society
• Chair or provide a deputy for Original Communication sessions related to a Theme at a meeting of the Society as required
• Attends conferences and training sessions where appropriate

Please email the Communications & Marketing Manager with queries about any of the above Themes.
