Vision
Overall, we aim to promote the role of the dietitian in the specialist field. We will accomplish this aim by:
- developing and updating position papers and briefing papers on the role of the dietitian in the specialist field
- developing advanced competence statements for dietitians working in the specialist field
- sharing and learning from dietetic practices for older adults across Europe
- engaging all dietitians working in the specialist field across Europe through the ESDN members
- liaising as appropriate with other European professional groups and monitor the developments in education and LLL of other health professionals in the specialist field
- liaising with other EFAD committees to develop the specialty in Education, Research and Professional Practice
- developing research proposals (research questions, design, methodology) in order to promote the participation of dietitians in EU and other research projects.
