Introducing Nina Bonner – Senior Dietitian St George Cancer Services

It is Dietitian Week 16 – 22 June and we are celebrating a respected colleague who has been a steadfast member of the Multidisciplinary Team at St George Cancer Services, our colleague Nina Bonner. Nina with 20 + years as a dietitian is used to navigating the world of food and cancer patients having treatment. This is not always an easy path as it is usually the time most people are not interested in food and eating seems sometimes a mountain too high to climb. There are many ways of maintaining good caloric intake and optimize nutrition when having treatment, but the expertise of an experienced dietitian is invaluable. You will usually find Nina with her head down somewhere in the waiting room checking in on her patients. She works quietly alongside her colleagues to improve our patient’s outcomes. Another not much known fact is that Nina raises funds to buy bennies each winter for our brain cancer patients. With much thanks Happy Dietitian Week Nina.
