I didn’t come to dietetics through a single moment, but through a combination of personal experience and opportunity. As a child and adolescent, I spent a lot of time in hospital due to congenital hip problems. I went through much of secondary school on crutches and missed several periods of school along the way. At the time, there wasn’t much recognition of how disruptive that was, so I largely had to find my own way through it.
Despite that, I went on to achieve good GCSEs and A-levels. But looking back, it wasn’t my academic results that shaped my path - it was the exposure I had to dietetics through work experience at 16. That experience stayed with me and gave me a real sense of direction.
I did have moments where I questioned whether a clinical career was right for me. One placement in particular affected my confidence and made me step back and reconsider. But over time, I realised that my interest in dietetics hadn’t gone away - it just needed rebuilding.
I went on to graduate with a distinction and was offered an opportunity in a research unit in Cambridge. However, I felt drawn back to clinical work and to Guy’s and St Thomas’, where I had trained. Returning there as a head and neck dietitian felt like an important step for me, both professionally and personally.
When I look back, my journey into dietetics has been shaped as much by my experiences as a patient as by my training. It’s given me a perspective that I carry into my work, and it continues to influence the kind of dietitian I try to be. Chapter 2, 3, and 4 if you're interested. ###
I love my job and all the voluntary work i do for

Incredibly proud to share that Paola Falcoski and I have co-authored the brand new chapter on ARFID for the Manual of Dietetic Practice (7th Edition), officially publishing this week on 22nd May.

When Paola and I sat down to write this, we had a very clear mission in mind. We wanted to ensure that every dietitian in training, and new to practice, enters the workforce knowing what ARFID is.

Look out for the official release this Friday!
