I began Nutrition Graduates just before lockdown in 2020, after graduating myself from my nutrition degree. I had a job in nutrition but I didn’t work with any other nutritionists, and I had no idea what. was doing at that time. So I created a Facebook group to connect with others in the nutrition field to help each other navigate this field. 

Throughout lockdown I began hosting online networking sessions, webinars and events, which were so great to keep us all connected and supported throughout that weird time. 

Fast forward to now, and Nutrition Graduates has grown beyond anything I could have thought, and it is 100% the favourite part of my job. I love connecting with nutritionists and chatting about their jobs, new research out there, and just generally finding out what we’re all up to. Nutrition has such a wide range of opportunities out there so it is fantastic to hear the directions everyone goes in. 

We now focus on three core principles at Nutrition Graduates; 

Connection – We hold networking events across the country, online mentoring sessions and encourage you to connect with as many people as you can. 

Knowledge – This is a vital part of our role. Evidence comes out frequently so we need to stay as up to date as possible on what is out there. I highly recommend you joining some of our webinars to stay up to date. 

Skills – An important thing to keep up to date with is your skills. It can help to elevate your confidence in yourself as a nutritionist and support your career. Keep an eye out for our workshops to help you improve your skills.
