Past projects include:

Advice and strategy for multinational, national and smaller start up companies on ideal nutritional content for new product development and recipe renovation.

Companies developing infant formula, baby food and children’s food products including healthier children’s snacks and supplements have asked me to write website copy to support products and to advise on EU regulated nutrition and health claims.

Food portion sizes to address childhood overweight and obesity
I have developed ideal food portion sizes for different ages with the scientific rationale to support and justify them through relationships with the British Dietetic Association and the Infant and Toddler Forum.

Nurseries and Schools
Nurseries and schools have requested I develop or check menu plans for nutritional adequacy for nursery and school aged children. I have trained chefs and care staff in the principles of healthy eating and nutritional adequacy of recipes and menus.

On-line training courses
I have developed on-line training courses on all aspects of child nutrition - notably for the Healthy Child Programme co-ordinated by the Royal College of Paediatrics and Child Health and the Ten Steps programme co-ordinated by the Infant and Toddler Forum

Developing MSc Modules
I developed the 4 day Nutrition and Dietetics in Infancy and Childhood training module for paediatric dietitians and ran this programme for the British Dietetic Association from 2002 - 2018.

Infant & Toddler Forum 
I recently retired from the Infant & Toddler Forum after 15 years as lead author for the factsheets, Ten Steps programmes, website copy and social media for this educational forum on infant and toddler nutrition and development. 

Department of Health/Healthy Start Scheme

Along with colleagues I identified the need for Healthy Start vitamin supplements in 2005 and proposed new vitamins should be manufactured and marketed. Working as a consultant for DH, I project managed the selection of suppliers to manufacture the vitamins and developed a marketing strategy for the two new sets of vitamin supplements.
