The Wessex Nutrition Research Network and the INFORmED project are a new Wessex Health Partners collaboration led by University Hospital Southampton and Bournemouth University, which aims to improve nutritional health outcomes across the life course.

The‘INFORmED’ project focuses on Improving Nutritional Outcomes for people across Wessex by Engaging Dietitians and Nutritionists in Research. Specifically, we aim to:

Connect dietitians, nutritionists, organisations, patients, the public, and the community with a shared interest in nutrition.

Collaborate to improve the lives of people living in Wessex.

Develop a sustainable, collaborative, inclusive network to tackle key nutritional challenges and priorities across the life-course to improve health and well-being in Wessex.

Grow new research capability in nutrition interdisciplinary research led by underrepresented professions, and in particular, dietitians and nutritionists

‘INFORmED’ engagement events are open to anyone interested in improving nutrition across Wessex. We particularly encourage dietitians, nutritionists, and managers who are interested in getting started or developing their clinical academic journey, as well as those interested in overweight, obesity, and young people.

We are delighted to invite attendees to an event supporting dietitians and nutritionists of all grades (pre- and post-registration; ANutr and RNutr) across Wessex to engage in research and evidence-based opportunities.

Educators, managers, academics, community/council members, interested organisations/individuals, and industry representatives are also welcome.

These events are aimed at anyone interested in starting in or advancing their clinical academic ambitions in nutrition research.
