Welcome to the University of Nottingham Dietetic Practice Education website
The aim of the manual is to provide a single location for all stakeholders (students, practice educators and university staff) to access the most current information about dietetic practice education at the University of Nottingham. We hope that this will ensure that we are all working with the same resources and information and improve efficiency.
The development of the content has been based on discussion with a variety of people and from a workshop at Student Training Forum (STF) in April 2017. However we will continue to develop this resource as we receive feedback and as resources change so please do not hesitate to let us know if there is something else that would be helpful. Below is some information about the team.
