Speakers

Ellie Coles

BAPEN Communications Officer

Ellie is a freelance dietitian having previously specialised as a surgical dietitian within hepatico-pancreatico-biliary (HPB) care. She has since focused her career on education, research and mentoring to support a broad community of clinical nutrition experts to improve their practice. In her role as Communications Officer, she strives to bridge the gap between research, policy and clinical practice to ensure nutrition remains a core consideration of patient care.

In particular, Ellie is keen to support strategic communications with BAPEN’s broad membership across the UK and to engage students and those early in their nutrition careers to have the support and educational resources to develop their experiences and networks. But also to share BAPEN’s work with a broader audience and highlight the importance of nutrition support HCPs, carers, policy makers and the general public across the UK.
