Food Standards Scotland (FSS) recently established a Scottish Dietary Advice Forum to coordinate the risk management process for public health nutrition advice in Scotland. Bringing together experts from Scottish Government, Public Health Scotland, the NHS and FSS, the forum provides a collaborative approach to reviewing and updating dietary advice in Scotland. It aims to ensure that any new or updated dietary advice reflects the wider policy implications and is disseminated and implemented efficiently and consistently across national resources, in alignment with Scientific Advisory Committee on Nutrition (SACN) recommendations.
To achieve this, FSS are seeking to better understand where our stakeholders and partners access up‑to‑date advice on diet and nutrition. They have created a short survey (link below) exploring the sources you currently rely on, and how you would prefer to receive future updates on dietary guidance in Scotland. The survey takes only a few minutes to complete, and your feedback will help us ensure that our communications are as effective as possible.
FSS kindly ask that you complete the survey by Friday 20th March, when the survey will close. Survey: Receiving updates on dietary advice in Scotland
