Getting ready for a day of brilliant AHPness! Who doesn’t love a goody bag! #BSOLAHPDAYsDAY2022 Midlands AHPs BSMHFT NHS Mental Health British Dietetic Association


An exciting opportunity for a B6 dietitian to join our team at BSMHFT NHS Mental Health beta.jobs.nhs.uk/candidate/joba… Please do contact me for more info/an informal chat!



Immersed in some dietetic cpd today -hearing so many excellent presentations from RDs-including the impressive Sara Britton talking about obesity assessment and weight stigma . Especially important in our MH population 👍British Dietetic Association BDA Mental Health Specialist Group #primarycarepublichealth



Linked in to the national CAHPO conference today… first up-the incredible Professor Chris Whitty Prof Chris Whitty “health in adults <50 is improving, except in MH”… BSMHFT NHS Mental Health BDA Mental Health Specialist Group

Gunter Kuhnle The hysterical conflation around UPF is reaching anti-vax proportions. I accept that as a nation we need to improve our diets but this fixation on an entirely contrived category of food (on which experts can’t agree) is as ridiculous as it is unscientific.

Totally agree. Great representation from team BSMHFT dietitians today-learning and feeling BDA Mental Health Specialist Group BSMHFT NHS Mental Health

Metabolic wellness coincides with psychiatric wellness. Key point to remember in our approach to obesity on MH facilities BDA Mental Health Specialist Group #MHSGStudyDay2023

Really interesting session and discussion on managing weight gain in mental illness. We mustn’t forget that MHG there are many issues that lead to weight gain in our patients. We need a multi factorial approach. BDA Mental Health Specialist Group #MHSGStudyDay2023

Well timed today as we discuss how increasing access to and numbers of RDs in mental health can save lives. Too many LD and SMI patients dying early of preventable disease including constipation. We can do better . BDA Mental Health Specialist Group BSMHFT NHS Mental Health

Engaging with your tribe is such an important part of CPD. So happy to back with my fellow MH Dietitians #MHSGStudyDay2023 So much to think about in our quest to reduce inequalities locally BSMHFT NHS Mental Health .We need to seriously think about how and what we do with our resources 🤔

40% of pts with SMI experience food insecurity -sometimes delaying discharge from MH wards due to fears about having to eat enough. BSMHFT NHS Mental Health what do /can we do about this? #MHSGStudyDay2023

So important. It is normal to lose interest in food during dying. That’s why as a #palliativecare British Dietetic Association dietitian St Joseph's Hospice , the focus is on comfort , supporting relatives and providing favourite tastes as someone approaches end of life.

According to Chris van Tulleken 🏳️🌈, there is overwhelming evidence for an adverse effect of ultra-processed foods. According to some of the leading nutrition experts in the UK, there are a lot of uncertainties. You can read it - for free: gov.uk/government/pub…
