Why it matters
What professional registration means for you
01
Anyone can call themselves a nutritionist
'Nutritionist' is not a protected title in the UK — anyone can use it without qualifications or training. UKVRN registration is independently verified proof that Catherine meets and maintains rigorous professional standards.
02
Bound by an ethical code
UKVRN registrants must follow the AfN Standards of Ethics, Conduct and Performance — requiring honesty, evidence-based practice, confidentiality, safe practice and prioritisation of public benefit at all times.
03
Ongoing learning is required
Registration is renewed annually and requires demonstrated CPD activity. The advice you receive reflects current nutritional science, updated continuously — not information from years ago.
04
Accountable and transparent
You can independently verify Catherine's registration on the UKVRN public register at any time. Any professional concerns can be raised through AfN's formal fitness to practise process.
