We’ve decided to step away from X. Changes to the platform mean it is no longer the right space for the BDA to engage in the respectful, trusted and evidence-based conversations our members expect. We’ll continue to share updates and engage with our community on other channels.

💬 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. Preetpal Kainth Chair of the BDA EDI Committee
