Dietitians play a crucial role in the care of a person with an eating disorder across the health system both in community and hospital settings. InsideOut Institute recognises the key role of Dietitians. However, the majority of the Dietitian workforce is within generalist roles rather than specialized positions. The upskilling project provides various NSW Health Dietitians with training opportunities through webinars, eLearning, Group Supervision, and a learning library. This equips Dietitians with the skills needed in the care and management of a person with an eating disorder, across the various roles and services within NSW Health.
Background: Dietitians are key clinicians in the care of a person with an eating disorder across the health system both in community and hospital settings. InsideOut Institute recognises the key role of Dietitians. However, the majority of the Dietitian workforce is within a generalist role, not a specialised eating disorder role within the health service.
Aims: The upskilling project provides various opportunities for Dietitians to learn and upskill in the care and management of a person with an eating disorder, across the various roles and services within NSW Health.
Opportunities include:
• Webinars
• eLearning
• Eating Disorders Group Supervision for Dietitians (note this for NSW Health staff only, contact Maureen for more information)
• Searching for Learning: An Eating Disorders Learning Library for Dietitians (under development)
Outcomes: Provide Dietitians across the health system with access to training and development relevant to their area of work. This will assist people with eating disorders to be recognised early and gain access to safe and effective care and referral to appropriate services.
Impact: People with an eating disorder can access high quality and safe dietetics care no matter where they present across the NSW health system.
