Login to the Dietetic Directory
The Dietetic Directory contains information on dietetic activities on the island of Ireland. The information available includes contact details, clinical areas, and pilot and research projects. It provides a means of easily accessing and disseminating information from dietitians to dietitians. Furthermore, it aims to increase communication and collaboration between dietitians/clinical nutritionists across the island of Ireland.
About the directory
Across the island of Ireland a huge amount of work is being carried out in the area of nutrition - ranging from research projects to clinical activities, health promotion to policy development. There is much to be learned from the outcomes of these activities and the experiences of those involved.
The all-island directory of nutrition activities provides a way of easily accessing and disseminating this information. In addition to providing a valuable information resource the directory will facilitate communication and collaboration between dietitians, quickly identifying colleagues with relevant expertise and providing access to information on projects of interest. safefood, with the support of the INDI and the BDA, are facilitating the directory as part of it’s remit to promote co-operation and linkages across the island of Ireland.
The initial phase of the directory was launched in March 2006 with over 70% of the dietetic departments on the Island of Ireland participating. The directory was updated in July/August 2007.
