Welcome to the 4th DIETS Thematic Network Newsletter.
We would like to welcome you to the 4th DIETS Newsletter which we hope that you will find enjoyable and interesting. Help with editing this Newsletter from Carola Deitrich of the Irish Nutrition and Dietetic Institute is greatly appreciated by the Dissemination Group.
In this edition we have contributions from our thematic network partners in Belgium, Hungary, Spain and Portugal on their work in dietetics education, public health and clinical nutrition, as well as updates on the work of the network. Professor Anne De Looy and the Network Manager, Judith Liddell, describe the engagement of dietitians in DIETS to date. Réka Bozó Kegyes from the EPG reviews the 1st year visits which were undertaken between the higher institutes of education (HEI) partners of the thematic network. These visits have generated valuable information which is already being used to improve dietetic student academic education and practice placement learning.
We have also included information on the 2nd DIETS Conference which will be held in Frankfurt, Germany on the 25th and 26th September 2008. We hope that as many of you as possible will attend this Conference which hopes to bring HEIs, practicing dietitians and students together to discuss the requirements and aspirations of dietetic education in Europe.
As it is important that we raise the profile of dietetics with all stakeholders throughout Europe, we urge you to disseminate this Newsletter as widely as possible, to all lecturers in dietetics, practicing dietitians, students and ministries for health, education and employment. We would also like all members of the partner organisations to contribute to the Newsletter so please send your contributions to the Thematic Network Manager, Judith Liddell at
network.manager@thematicnetworkdietetics.eu.
Best wishes,
Dissemination Group,
