CONTENT AND LEARNING OBJECTIVES
This webinar is being released to celebrate diversity in Dietetics, in support of Dietitians Week 2022.
Dietitians have traditionally and largely worked in clinical practice in the NHS settings where they are well respected and enjoy a high profile within the health community. Other key traditional areas, although not limited, include public health nutrition, academia, freelance dietetics, the media as well the food and retail sectors.
Future opportunities for both dietitians and nutritionists are now immense given the growing health and planetary crises and recognition of the impact of nutrition interventions. There is an enormous need to influence what people eat for optimal human and planetary health. Dietitians and nutritionists are increasingly working in new and emerging areas of practice.
As founder and CEO of Nutrilicious and MyNutriWeb, Tanya Haffner has combined her keen business sense with nearly 30 years’ experience in public health nutrition and communications to build two successful innovative businesses to support the health of people and the planet.
Tanya was recently invited by Queen Margaret University of Edinburgh to share her experience and expertise and speak on the topic of Dietitians as Entrepreneurs’, Innovators and Influencers to inspire new graduates and keen professionals in nutrition and dietetics to become forces of positive change through innovation and entrepreneurship! This free recording is an adaptation for such members of the MyNutriWeb community.
