I am a dietitian, still practicing in primary care. I began my career working as a dietitian specialising in care of the Elderly and Mental Health. I have an interest in the training of other health care professionals e.g. practice nurses and GPs on issues associated with health and nutrition. I worked in Sheffield for 3 years where I managed a small team of community dietitians specialising in public health, particularly the Healthy Schools Pogramme and healthy school meals; as well as the provision of fruits and vegetables in economically deprived areas. I have experience in writing local food and health/obesity policies.
