Harriet is joined by Bianca Tharme-Loose and Nicky Clark on today’s episode to discuss whether there’s a place for disability in dietetics. This coincides with International Day of Disabled Persons (3rd December) and it’s also a topic which Harriet is passionate about, as she lives with several disabilities including Ehler’s Danlos Syndrome, scoliosis and hearing loss. Bianca is a specialist gastroenterology dietitian and is currently the irritable bowel syndrome lead at the trust she works at. Bianca has been employed by the NHS for nearly five years and since receiving the shielding letter she has been working solely in outpatients. Nicky Clark has worked for the NHS for over 12 years, since completing her postgraduate diploma in dietetics at Leeds. Nicky currently works as an advanced dietitian for a mental health trust in the Northeast of England and has done since the service was developed eight years ago. Nicky is involved in continual service development within her dietetic team and clinically works in a tertiary specialised neuro-rehabilitation hospital. In this episode we’ll be discussing the impact that our guest’s disabilities have had on their student training and current dietetic roles, and how disability is perceived in the workplace. We will also be asking Nicky and Bianca about what more could be done to support disabled dietitians.Show Notes:Guest twitter handles:@biancatharme@rd_nicky
