We've had some stunning photos from across Northern Ireland as @BDA_Dietitians members turned out on the picket lines. We've compiled a page featuring a number of pics we've received (see if you can spot yourself). #FairPayForNI #FairPayForDietetics bda.uk.com/resource/the-diet…

The dietetic workforce join the collective day of action in Northern Ireland, to say enough is...

Members of the British Dietetic Association (BDA), working in Health and Social Care Northern Ireland (HSCNI) join thousands of other workers in unprecedented strike action today.

On #HolocaustMemorialDay, we remember the six million Jewish people murdered during the Holocaust. Today, we stand together to speak out against hatred and discrimination #LightTheDarkness

💬 This year's #BlackHistoryMonth theme resonates deeply as we examine how we can stand firm in our commitment to inclusive practice & take pride in building a profession that truly serves the diverse communities across the UK. - Preetpal Kainth, Chair of the BDA's EDI Committee

Standing firm in power and pride

Representation in healthcare is not just about fairness, it is about harnessing the collective strength that comes from diverse perspectives and experiences.

When we have dietitians from underrepresented backgrounds, we unlock powerful capabilities that transform
patient care.
