Malnutrition Week ANZ 2023 is supported by :
to carve the career path of your dreams . If social media is designed to be digested quickly , Infuse is meant to be savoured . Here ’ s what I wrote in our very first issue …
“ We ’ re not like any other magazine out there . Infuse brings the best of business , leadership , dietetic news and research to you .”
This is our promise with each and every article , and we hope you agree . ( Very special mention to the talented Laura Byrne , the first editor of Infuse – we miss you !).
This issue is a special Malnutrition Week ANZ ( MWANZ ) 2023 edition . During the week of 9-13th October we hope to bring much-needed attention to the alarming rates of malnutrition in Australia and New Zealand communities and healthcare settings . The theme of this year ’ s campaign is : Be a nutrition champion !, and like the nutrition superheroes we know you all are , we invite you to unite with your nutrition colleagues to spread the word and educate others on the impact of malnutrition – and what we can do to prevent it . Speaking of time , it ’ s been more than 20 years since I completed my PhD in the area , and it ’ s still humbling to see the Malnutrition Screening Tool created by Sandra Capra , Judy Bauer , Merrilyn Banks and myself being used all over the world .
Lastly , in case you missed it , the Dietitian Connection team is growing . I ’ d like to ( formally ) introduce you to our wonderful COO , Tanya Gilliver , who joined us in July . Tanya is an exceptionally talented APD with 20 years ’ experience in senior leadership roles . Tanya is known for thinking ‘ outside the box ’, being adaptable and responsive , and is focused on making the people she works with shine . We also happen to think she ’ s an absolute superstar !
Until next time … thank you for reading , we ’ re glad you ’ re here .
