BIMDG Dietitians

Background

The Dietitians Group was formed in 1999 as a sub-group of the BIMDG. The objective was to unite and form a network of dietitians working in the field of inherited metabolic disease.

A committee was formed in October 2002.

Aims

The main aims of the group are to:

• review and develop current dietary treatments for inherited metabolic diseases
  
• to produce guidelines/ resources/ publications where appropriate
  
• be a resource for dietetic colleagues involved with the dietary management of children/ adults with inherited metabolic disease

What we do

The group meets biannually. Meetings are usually in a workshop format to facilitate discussion.

A group e-mail is used for liaison.

Membership

Membership of the group is open to any practicing clinical dietitian working in inherited metabolic disease.
