From 1st March 2010 responsibility for the UK Voluntary Register of Nutritionists and course accreditaion was transferred from the Nutrition Society to the Association for Nutrition (AfN), the new professional body for the regulation and registration of nutritionists (including public health nutritionists, exercise nutritionists, and animal nutritionists).
The AfN aims to protect the public, and promote wellbeing, by admitting to the Register only those who demonstrate high ethical and quality standards, founded on evidence-based science. The Association sets proficiency and competency criteria, promotes continuing professional development and safe conduct, and will accredit university undergraduate and postgraduate courses.
