Taste of a rewarding occupation: How dietitians are striving to improve the nutrition of the nation
Thursday, 6 May 2010
"When I qualified, doctors were so ignorant about dietitians, they thought it was our job to cook food," says Chris Cashin. Fed up with such misconceptions, dietitians have worked tirelessly to raise the profile of the profession, and finally, she says, it's paying off, with dietitians now enjoying high status and recognition that they improve nutritional well-being, prevent food-related problems and treat diseases. "One of my colleagues recently received an OBE for their services."

Speech and language therapy: Help children, dementia sufferers and many others to communicate their needs better
Thursday, 6 May 2010
By the end of today, John Bercow, the former Speaker of the House of Commons and MP for Buckingham, may find himself unemployed. Traditionally, the Speaker's seat is uncontested but Bercow, a controversial figure for many MPs, is facing a range of opponents in today's general election. Before he became Speaker in June 2009, few outside Westminster knew of Bercow; few, that is, other than the UK's 11,500 practising speech and language therapists (SLTs). Indeed, should Bercow find himself on the wrong side of the count tonight, he can take comfort from the fact that, in this small and female-dominated segment of the health service, the Bercow Review lives on.
Podiatry: Life as a foot expert keeps you on your toes
Thursday, 6 May 2010
It may not be the most glamorous part of the body, but, to the UK's 14,000 practising podiatrists, the human foot stands centre stage when it comes to our overall health and well-being. "People don't much like feet," says Lorraine Jones, a member of council at the Society of Chiropodists and Podiatrists, "and podiatry doesn't tend to make it into the papers unless it's something like David Beckham's Achilles tendon injury or a celebrity's bunions. Yet despite our low profile, as many as four in five adults will need to seek help from a foot specialist at some stage in their lives simply to stay mobile and independent."
Brussels wants you to apply: The European Union has abolished its archaic test
Thursday, 29 April 2010
If you're a British graduate with an interest in languages and policy, you should consider crossing the Channel in the direction of Brussels, the capital of Belgium. At a time when job opportunities for graduates appear bleak in the UK, the European Union wants new recruits to work in the "capital" of Europe where there are scores of other young people and plenty of cafes and restaurants, not to mention large quantities of good beer and chocolate as well as delicious mussels and snails.
