I worked in a team with Annabel for several years in a busy UK Hospital Trust caring for women with diabetes in pregnancy. Working alongside her really helped increase my confidence and my ability in practice to respond with sensitivity to the people I looked after. Annabel has a great depth of knowledge and experience in supporting people to learn about how diet and nutrition can improve their health and well-being. She is a wonderful teacher and always has a positive impact on both colleagues and clients.
