About the UKVRN
The Nutrition Society established a Register of Nutritionists to recognise and encourage high standards of professional training in nutrition. The key purpose of the Register is to protect the public.
Only individuals who meet high standards in the evidence-based science and professional practice of nutrition can join and stay on our register. The applicant must:

• Follow the Code of Ethics and Statement of Professional Conduct.
• Work within their own scope of practice using Standards of Competency in either Nutrition (N) or Public Health Nutrition (PHN).
• Keep up to date through Continuing Professional Development.
