Sue Lloyd and Susan Church lead practical and educational sessions that are designed to update and improve the knowledge and skills of dietitians and nutritionists in recipe analysis. In particular this course is designed to provide a learning opportunity for dietitians to understand how they can minimize known errors in nutrient analysis and therefore produce a legally acceptable analysis.

A HAES approach aims to offer an effective and ethical alternative to the conventional weight-centred approach to eating and health. The HAES practice promotes self-care within a compassion-centred philosophy. The philosophy is also deeply concerned with social justice and brings social determinants of health into view in nutritional wellbeing as well as challenging overt and implicit size bias in and beyond health care.
This HAES_workshop explores the evidence and provides an introduction to HAES practice in the clinic.
The study day is aimed at dieticians, nurses and other health care professionals working with cancer patients. The day aims to update on studies and initiatives in pelvic radiation disease, screening, enhanced recovery in upper GI and survivorship clinics.
