It’s the last day of our #DW2025 and we’re thinking: Food & Mood 🧠. What you eat affects how you feel. Balanced meals = balanced mood. Omega-3s (oily fish, flaxseeds), steady meals & less caffeine all help. Dietitians support mental health too 💚 #FoodAndMood #DietitiansWeek.

Today we’re thinking about Fibre 🌾. Only 9% of UK adults get enough fibre! . It fuels your gut, lowers cholesterol & keeps you fuller for longer. Try switching to wholegrains or adding lentils, berries & seeds today 🌱 #FibreFacts #GutHealth #DietitiansWeek #DW2025

Day 2 of #DW2025 and we’re thinking about #Protein 🍗.💪 Protein isn’t just for gym-goers. It supports healing, strength & healthy ageing! Include a source in each meal—meat, eggs, beans, tofu, or dairy. Older adults need MORE protein, not less! #Proteinpower #dietitiansweek.

⭐️Being on the apprenticeship programme has helped me work towards my goal of becoming a dietitian while giving me the flexibility to continue in my current role. It has also provided flexible learning opportunities, allowing me to study and develop in a way that suits me.

Useful reflection ⬇️. We’ve thought about how to use our #patientstories project to keep a patient’s goals and #values central to care. We initially offered it at point of discharge but hearing and sharing their journey earlier in an episode can help with this! #PatientCare.
The authors detail a useful reminder on shared decision making, where a person’s values and wishes are at the core, from the beginning, not a further consideration when they differ from the SLT recommendation.

A great series! We’re following 👀#evidencebasedcountdowntoChristmas.
This year, like last year, we are closing the year with our #evidencebasedcountdowntoChristmas - an alternative advent calendar! Each day we read a share a piece of literature to inform our SLT practice! Inspiration to carry into 2025. This was day 5️⃣. 6th coming up shortly!
