The Team

About Anne Cushen.

I graduated in 2003 from the University of Wales Institute Cardiff (UWIC) with a BSC honours degree in Nutrition and Dietetics with registration. Since then, I have worked in a range of NHS Hospitals from large teaching hospitals to smaller more local hospitals and gained a wealth of experience.

I have specialised in children’s dietetics since 2003 and in 2016 and 2017, specialised further in complex care and children’s allergies and intolerances.

I currently live in Barnsley, South Yorkshire. I am passionate about children's nutrition, the environment and love animals.
