The British Dietetic Association (BDA) is the only body in the UK representing the whole of the dietetic workforce. Membership is open to anyone working in dietetics, in nutrition, or who has an interest in diet or food, throughout the world. We represent the whole of the dietetic workforce - practitioners, researchers, educators, support workers and students.
Dietitians working as core members of the Primary Care General Practice team is an emerging area within the NHS and the four nations are at varying stages in this journey. Dietitians have a vital role in delivering care and treatment across the life course. Positioning them in Primary Care, at the start of a patient's journey, allows a focus on prevention and ensures patients are seen by the right healthcare professional in their local community.
