Here we are, 2020… and this brand new decade brings big news and lots of excitement for Safer Eating. And major changes for me.
I made a very tricky decision at the end of 2019 to hand in my notice for my clinical manager post in the NHS. I have worked in the NHS for 19 years, but it is definitely the right time for me to step away.
I want to give my all to Safer Eating. Plus it means I get to actually spend time with my family – my husband and my two cheeky young coeliac daughters.
Having such a demanding hospital role meant I have not been able to devote my full attention to Safer Eating. So I am really, really excited about what we can do with more time, brain power, motivation and energy. I want Safer Eating to continue to make a big difference to tricky eaters and businesses alike, and I believe it will grow and grow.
Our main goal is to continue to increase awareness and fly the flag for food allergies, intolerances and coeliac disease. There have been too many horror stories with allergy fatalities and people becoming ill through lack of education.
We are also going to work hard to keep up our social media presence and continue to offer you helpful information, blog posts and recipes.
I also love this time of year when I plan which exciting events we’ll go to – I’ve already earmarked the Allergy and Free From Shows and the Free From Food Awards and I’m sure there will be many more.
Watch this space everyone. It’s time for change with Safer Eating.
