As we all try & navigate through this challenging & rapidly evolving time, Dietitians NZ is compiling a list of resources that may be useful for dietitians. We are updating this page as more information becomes available and if you have come across any helpful resources, please send them to us & we will add them here.
We would also like to give a big shout out to all the dedicated essential workers who are continuing to provide services. Of course, a special mention to the many dietitians, food service staff, food kitchens & supermarket workers who continue to provide quality food and nutrition information & education to New Zealanders. Kia kaha!
