Attendees: Tracey, Becky, James P, James E, Kyle, Daryl, Avani, Josie, Liz, Lona.

 

· Society Brief & Aims

o The Society is a ‘formal’ version of the cohort group which will grow over time and ensure there is a foundation for the new cohorts of the course as time progresses.

o It was agreed that as a group we already share information and ideas within our whats app group and as a group we agreed it would be best to use this group as the Society contact group going forward.

 

· Objectives:

o Gain 6 new members by Christmas

o Use own coffee cups à sustainability

o Meet every other month at a minimum

§ These were the original objectives set as requested by the University Student Union. We have therefore already hit the first target and the remaining targets are ongoing.

 

 

· Secretary/Treasurer Position

o As the Society is a ‘formal’ group monitored by the University Students Union, they require us to have a secretary and treasurer (can be the same person if preferred) going forward. If anyone is interested, please let Tracey know.

 

· Resources

o As a cohort, we are all already good at sharing resources but this will be an ongoing task. Interesting podcasts include: ‘Dietetics Digest’ and ‘Nualtra: Dietitians Café: #RD2B’, the latter holding a podcast about tips for preparing for placement and social media.

o Becky suggested a journal club where the group can take it in turns discussing a topic of choice to share ideas and interests.

 

 

· AOB

o It was agreed that once every other month was ideal to meet to ensure we keep up with demands of the course.

o We discussed the idea of a course trip to an event in the New Year, e.g. The Good Food Show – Tracey to explore funding support from the University towards this if event is related to course topic.
