The BDA has published a statement acknowledging growing concern among dietetic learners, new graduates and educators about the availability of Band 5 dietetic roles across the UK. It has said it wants to reassure its members that supporting the dietetic workforce is a priority and it is taking a series of coordinated actions to understand what is happening and to influence national decision-making across the four nations:
- Tracking the workforce data
- Preparing to respond to workforce plans
- Supporting members entering the workforce
- Encouraging political advocacy
The BDA has shared a survey asking professionals about their experience of securing a dietetic role. This information will directly inform its national influencing work and strengthen its case with government (Westminster and devolved), NHS leaders and workforce planners.
