‘Know Your Worth’ as a Dietitian
Trust a Dietitian aims to encourage you, our members to ‘Know Your Worth’.
This means recognising and actively promoting the great work you do and the impact it has, and to be proud of your qualified status as a registered dietitian.
It is important to remember that dietitians are unique in that you are very often referred to as the absolute ‘Gold Standard’ when it comes to nutrition and food professionals.

Feedback so far..
“I just wanted to say what a brilliant document “Know your Worth: Trust a Dietitian” really is. I’m doing a ton of work in Public Health at the moment, assisting my PH commissioning colleagues formulate the future contracting and commissioning outline for dietetic services (non clinical) to be put before the Local Authority “powers that be” (including the Councillors).
They asked me to “prove our worth” (my PH colleagues know our worth, but perhaps the LA do not) so the document and your campaign is timely and so very useful. Just wanted to say a big thank you to all who worked on this – looks like it was hard work.”
