On Friday we had the pleasure of inviting Rachael Moses @NHSLeader (head of clinical leadership NHS Leadership Academy 💙 + British Thoracic Society (BTS) president) to present her amazing work in developing the diversity and role of AHP’s in Respiratory disease. Truly inspiring! Thank you Rachel 💙

As part of Dietitian’s Week 2022, we wanted to highlight the vital role of respiratory dietetics as part of the workforce! Great to see, for the 1st time, the role of Dietetics being acknowledged as part of the respiratory workforce via British Thoracic Society (BTS) #WhatDietitiansDo #DW2022
