BDA West of Scotland

We’ve decided to step away from X. Changes to the platform mean it is no longer the right space for the BDA to engage in the respectful, trusted and evidence-based conversations our members expect. We’ll continue to share updates and engage with our community on other channels.

📌 STUDENTS - SAVE THE DATE 📌 Stay tuned for more details, you won’t want to miss out on this event! 📚🧑‍🎓 21.03.2026 #rd2b #dietetics #bda #bdavolunteers #dieteticsstudent #dietitians

🌟 New Committee Member 🌟 We’re delighted to introduce Astera, who joined our committee at the end of last year! Astera, a third year student at Glasgow Caledonian University, has come on board as our ordinary member. This means we now have a full committee 🤩

We recently took the opportunity to celebrate winning BDA Branch of the Year (our 2nd year in a row 🥳), whilst also celebrating those leaving our committee and those joining! We’re delighted to have a full committee once more, keep your eyes peeled for what we get up to 👀

We’d like to say one last big thank you to Elaine and Clare, who have now officially left their roles on the committee 🌟 Thanks for all the time and effort you have both put into your roles over the years, the branch wouldn’t be where it is at today without you both! 👏

Happy International Volunteers Day 2025 🌟 Shout out to all of our volunteer committee members, we appreciate every one of you 👏 #dietetics #bdavolunteers #bda
