Dr Katherine Markwell

I am an HCPC registered dietitian with experience in teaching, research, public health and freelance dietetics. I am new to the university working on developing a new dietetics programme and contributing to other nutrition and exercise science teaching.

I have 6+ years of teaching experience in dietetics, exercise science and allied health subjects. In the United Kingdom I previously taught PG and UG dietetics programmes at the University of Chester and was also the Programme Leader for the MSc of Obesity and Weight Management. Most of my module leadership and teaching has been in placement preparation, placement assessment, simulation development, and clinical dietetics. I have developed new teaching and assessment materials for dietetics and the programmes. I have extensive experience of developing and delivering teaching, assessments including OSCEs, supervising research students and delivering pastoral care. I have 10 years of research experience in areas including weight management, health promotion and dietetics teaching and learning. In Australia and the UK I have been a co-investigator on several Government Awards and Grants and received awards from this work including best clinical abstract (British Dietetics Association, 2017), best student oral presentation (Nutrition Society of Australia), and an early career researcher award (Nutrition Society of Australia).
