We actively undertake research and audit on a local and national scale across a broad range of specialities. These range from looking at patient outcomes to developing protocols to meet national guidelines as well as presenting at national and international conferences. We were awarded the British Dietetic Association Dame Barbara Clayton Award in June 2010 for innovative practice. We also actively contribute to the development of national guidelines.
