Description


What do you think dietitians do? Far from the stereotype of helping people lose weight, Evelyn's career journey shows that you couldn't be further from the truth.
Working in prisons, alongside professional football teams and at the heart of Whitehall, she has also travelled extensively throughout her career. Meeting and sharing with dietetic colleagues in India, Iceland, Ireland and Europe, her unique journey has been far from conventional.
She has worked with many inspirational colleagues and patients, in a great variety of clinical and national settings. But she nearly didn't get past first year at university. Funnily enough, it was nothing to do with her academic ability. She says, "I worked really hard to even be pretty average".
Read about the surprises and pitfalls of working in out-patient clinics and enjoy the funny anecdotes and hilarious hiccups along the way.
From Rochester prison to the notorious Ryker's Island in New York state, follow the ups and downs of Evelyn's prison healthcare experiences. "Give me male lifers any day "
We follow Evelyn's digital coming of age and all the challenges of working remotely with 150 people waiting to join my webinar, Evelyn notes "I looked as the sky turned very black, wondering if my temperamental internet connection would hold up".
It is a story of determination, courage, innovation and success from a multi award-winning retired clinician. Be encouraged to be open to all possibilities.
