The British Dietetic Association, established in 1936, is the professional association for dietitians. The association was established to:

• Advance the science and practice of dietetics and associated subjects
• Promote training and education in the science and practice of dietetics and associated subjects
• Regulate the relations between dietitians and their employer through the BDA Trade Union

Registered Dietitians (RDs) are uniquely qualified to translate scientific information about food into practical dietary advice. As well as providing impartial advice about nutrition and health, dietitians also advise about food related problems and treat disease and ill health. Many dietitians work in the National Health Service (NHS) and may work in one or more specialist areas. The title dietitian can only be used by those appropriately trained professionals who have registered with the Health Professions Council. Those who are not registered are breaking the law if they use the title 'dietitian'.
