While @BorisJohnson recognising the government must act to support people achieve and sustain a healthy weight is welcome, we must avoid stigmatising language and recognise the need for systemic change.

Just a few days until #DietitiansWeek ! We realise this year will not be quite the same, but it is still a great opportunity to celebrate dietetics and #WhatDietitiansDo , especially to support the NHS and wider health and care services during #COVID19

COVID-19 is creating a "perfect storm" for malnutrition amongst older people. That's why we've joined the UK Malnutrition Awareness and Prevention Network (MAPN) and 100 other signatories in writing to @MattHancock : #FoodSecurityForAll #WhatDietitiansDo

Fantastic to see this investment in dietetic roles in primary care. Appropriate recognition of the huge impact dietitians and other AHPs can have in general practice. @AHPFederation #WhatDietitiansDo

This is not what a dietitian looks like. Big piles of fruit and veg really get in the way when you're trying to use your desk. Help us show #WhatDietitiansDo again in our #DietitiansWeek 2020 photo competition. Let's show the real diversity of dietetics!
