Resham Rewri, Angela Madden, and Jane McClinchy, 'A qualitative exploration of the value of volunteering to the employability of nutrition and dietetic graduates amongst employers', Special Issue: Abstracts from the 2015 BDA Research Symposium, 2 December 2015, Birmingham, UK, Journal of Human Nutrition and Dietetics, Vol. 29 (S1): 40-63, March 2016. DOI: 10.1111/jhn.12367. ?? 2016 The Authors. Journal of Human Nutrition and Dietetics published by John Wiley & Sons Ltd on behalf of The British Dietetic Association Ltd.Background: Volunteering is widely considered to be beneficial to both, the volunteer and the community. It helps volunteers develop transferrable skills such as communication, collaboration, team working and general care towards the society. Whilst there is research that supports the value of volunteering, evidence gathered is largely from the area of education and there is a need for it to be further explored in the field of dietetics (Jones, 2013). The aim of this qualitative study was to understand and gather opinions from employers regarding volunteering of newly qualified dietetic graduates
