Benefits to the Public
Fellows of the Association must be registered with the UK Voluntary Register of Nutritionists (UKVRN) which protects the public by recognising and encouraging high standards of professional training in nutrition and by dealing with formal complaints about the conduct and competency of registrants.
Benefits of Fellowship
Registered Nutritionists who are Fellows of the Association may use the designation FAfN, in addition to RNutr i.e. Jane Smith RNutr FAfN. Fellows must continue to maintain their UKVRN registration and will still be subject to the AfN’s Code of Ethics and Professional Conduct. Fellows will be listed on the public section of the AfN website, with a short biography and a link to their own website and email address if requested. Each Fellow on election will receive a Fellowship Certificate, awarded by the AfN President.
