Studying Dietetics in the UK
The earliest dietary observations in hospitals go back to St Bartholomew’s Hospital in 1687. However dietetics really started from the middle of the nineteenth century when Florence Nightingale observed the importance of diet and nutrition to convalescence from the wars at that time. The British Dietetics Association's very first meeting was held on 24 January 1936 at St Thomas’ Hospital in London. Since then the BDA has grown into an internationally respected and valued organisation with influence in all four UK countries as well as overseas.
