There’s a couple on introduction to healthy eating and nutrition, and also other topics such as dietary fibre and gut health, fats, sport and exercise nutrition, allergy etc - some are aimed at different health professionals like midwives, nurses or pharmacists etc but have a look and see if you’re interested in any!

There are also a number of other talks and webinars on specific topics free on the website too at the moment if anyone is interested..

Back to another side of work... This is Faezeh at Elan Nursery Steyning being awarded The Early Years Nutrition Partnership ‘Advanced Level’ Quality Mark! She and the team have worked so hard this year to achieve this higher level of accreditation, which demonstrates their extra commitment to a whole setting approach to nutrition for their nursery. Well done to Nandor (their brilliant chef who isn’t pictured here because he was busy preparing the children’s yummy lunch!) for creating menus that are in line with the Advanced level Quality Mark. It’s great to work with such a lovely, enthusiastic team 😊

If you’re ever wondering what the difference between a registered nutritionist and a dietician is, this is a great comparative summary of some of the different professions in this area:

Did you know the title of nutritionists is not yet protected by law, meaning that anyone can advertise their services as a nutritionist? So it's important to find a nutritionist who is appropriately qualified and registered by a trustworthy professional body. The Association for Nutrition (AfN) governs a UK Voluntary Register of Nutritionists (UKVRN) - “to distinguish nutrition practitioners who meet rigorously applied training, competence and professional practice criteria. Its purpose is to protect the public and assure the credibility of nutrition as a responsible profession.” You can find out more and search for a registered nutritionist here - http://www.associationfornutrition.org/default.aspx?tabid=76

I spent Saturday morning with the really enthusiastic nursery practitioners at Elan Nursery in Haywards Heath for more of their early years nutrition training, as part of The Early Years Nutrition Partnership. I look forward to seeing some of their ideas come into fruition over the coming months 😊
