Health professionals who have undertaken specialised training to provide care for patients who are living with cancer and / or other life limiting diseases.
It’s the last day of our #DW2025 and we’re thinking: Food & Mood 🧠 What you eat affects how you feel. Balanced meals = balanced mood. Omega-3s (oily fish, flaxseeds), steady meals & less caffeine all help. Dietitians support mental health too 💚 #FoodAndMood #DietitiansWeek
This week is #dietitiansweek and Im currently at Wigan and Leigh Hospice promoting nutrition and role of a dietitian! @WWLNHS @WL_Hospice @BDA_Dietitians @covcampus #DW2025
It’s #DW2025 and we’re on Fruit & Veg 🍎🥦 🍎 Only 1 in 3 adults hit their 5-a-day. Fruit & veg are packed with fibre, vitamins & antioxidants that protect your heart, gut, and immune system. 🥗🍽️Can you add one extra portion today? #5ADay #EatTheRainbow #DietitiansWeek
Massive shout out and thank you to our Dieticians this week @WWLNHS another crucial part of our team 🤩 #DW2025 @WWLDietitians @hadley_lesley @maluki_f
Today we’re thinking about Fibre 🌾 Only 9% of UK adults get enough fibre! It fuels your gut, lowers cholesterol & keeps you fuller for longer. Try switching to wholegrains or adding lentils, berries & seeds today 🌱 #FibreFacts #GutHealth #DietitiansWeek #DW2025
🆕 webinar alert! Join us this Thursday for the first in our new series, which explores inclusivity and diversity in dietetics and the workforce. Learn more and sign up for free on our website ➡ bda.uk.com/events/webinar…
Day 2 of #DW2025 and we’re thinking about #Protein 🍗 💪 Protein isn’t just for gym-goers. It supports healing, strength & healthy ageing! Include a source in each meal—meat, eggs, beans, tofu, or dairy. Older adults need MORE protein, not less! #Proteinpower #dietitiansweek
Monday: Hydration 💧 💧Start #DietitiansWeek with a sip! Dehydration can cut focus + performance by up to 25%. Aim for 6–8 drinks/day, and don’t forget foods like fruit + soup count too! Stay topped up 💦 #Hydration #DietitiansMakeADifference
We’ve turned our Quality Board #RedForResearch @WWLNHS . For #InternationalClinicalTrialsDay on 20th May to #RedForResearchDay2025 on 20th June 🧐how can staff engage in research? 🤔how can patients get involved? 🤓what does the research say? #evidencebased #research
At @WWLNHS, this month’s focus is Patient Experience. In the Macmillan Palliative Care & Complex Cancer Community team we meet with patients to reflect on their rehab journey. We presented the work at the 2023 @macmillancancer conference and it’s still going! @WWLPatientExp
This #MeetTheTeamMonday we’re spotlighting our Macmillan Allied Health Professionals Team. This team supports patients in the community who have a specialist palliative care need or complex problem as a result of a cancer diagnosis 💙
Useful reflection ⬇️. We’ve thought about how to use our #patientstories project to keep a patient’s goals and #values central to care. We initially offered it at point of discharge but hearing and sharing their journey earlier in an episode can help with this! #PatientCare
The authors detail a useful reminder on shared decision making, where a person’s values and wishes are at the core, from the beginning, not a further consideration when they differ from the SLT recommendation.
A great series! We’re following 👀#evidencebasedcountdowntoChristmas
This year, like last year, we are closing the year with our #evidencebasedcountdowntoChristmas - an alternative advent calendar! Each day we read a share a piece of literature to inform our SLT practice! Inspiration to carry into 2025. This was day 5️⃣. 6th coming up shortly!
Inspiring speech from Erin Kennedy MBE on wellbeing and teamwork. #controlthecontrollables #chooseyourmood and #investinyourself
