UK IDDSI Reference Group - Volunteer Application

We are seeking volunteers to be part of a UK Reference Group. A team of volunteers from diverse geographical locations and practice settings is being sought and we aim to include representation including but not limited to Nutrition & Dietetics, Speech and Language Therapy and other Allied Health Professionals who support individuals with dysphagia, Catering and Food Services, Patient Support Organisations, Healthcare Management and the Medical Nutrition Industry. Previous involvement in IDDSI implementation is not necessary to be part of this group.

In many other countries IDDSI is supporting the creation of Reference Groups to act as an informative, instructional body for IDDSI implementation. The groups advocate, guide and support local users implementing IDDSI and act as a forum to share views from a wide range of service users, healthcare workers, catering and industry.

The UK IDDSI Reference group will conduct online meetings on a monthly basis. The work of the group may include writing reports and letters, conducting surveys, developing poster / handout materials, hosting webinars, etc. The time commitment would be up to 5 hours per month. A minimum of 1-year commitment is anticipated with a maximum term of 2 years.
