Queensland Eating Disorder Service (QuEDS) 

About this event

Symposium includes:

- Evaluating the dietetic intervention
- Valuing the dietitian
- Valuing the consumer
- Valuing loved ones/carers

Two full days of useful sessions with multiple guest speakers and an emphasis on useful resources/tools that you can use in your practice.
