My name is Emily & I’m a second year student dietitian studying at Cardiff Met. At this moment in time I should be on my first placement, however this has been rescheduled due to COVID, and I’m at home writing my final dissertation instead! (And finding ways to procrastinate, like this). I think this page has the potential to be a really useful platform for us to connect with and support each other on our journeys to becoming RDs! I can’t wait to ‘meet’ you all in one form or another. You can also find me on insta @ emilyrose_nutrition Take care x

Hi Emily! Lovely to hear from you. Hope your dissertation is coming along well! If you would like to share, what topic have you chosen for your diss?☺️x
Thanks so much for creating the group! In general terms, I am looking into Folate/Folic Acid and the prevention of neural tube defects in unborn babies. More specifically, I’m looking into three main areas: women’s dietary intake of folate, adherence to folic acid supplementation guidelines during pregnancy, and opinions of the proposed mandatory fortification of wheat flour with Folic Acid in the UK☺️ x
That’s really interesting! You will have to share your findings when you are finished! ☺️x
Wow that sounds really interesting!!
