A Senior Lecturer recently attended a Buckingham Palace Garden Party, in recognition of her work in public health. |
Leading nutritionist and food safety expert Dr Heather Hartwell was invited to a Buckingham Palace Garden Party on July 14, in recognition of her work in public health.
Dr Hartwell, a registered nutritionist, is a member of the Foodservice and Applied Nutrition Research Group based in our School of Services Management and the newly created Centre for Wellbeing & Quality of Life in our School of Health & Social Care. She has undertaken extensive research in public health nutrition and most recently has released a study on the quality of food served within prisons and the NHS.
She is also a Fellow of the Royal Society for Public Health, an organisation dedicated to the promotion and protection of collective human health and well-being, and is Editor of the peer reviewed journal Perspectives in Public Health.
Dr Hartwell said: "I'm really exciting to have been invited to such a prestigious event and as a nutritionist I will also be checking out the food!"
Every summer, The Queen hosts three garden parties at Buckingham Palace, as well as one at the Palace of Holyroodhouse in Edinburgh, as a way of rewarding and recognising public service.
