The AfN was established for public protection, and achieves this through defining and advancing standards for safe and effective practice in nutrition. It sets standards for training, continuing professional development (CPD) and registrant’s professional practice.

The AfN holds the UKVRN (United Kingdom Voluntary Register of Nutritionists) and awards the titles of Registered Nutritionist (RNutr) and Registered Associate Nutritionist (ANutr).

The AfN provides guidance to support registrants to stay safe and effective in their practice and runs a fitness to practice process which benefits the public by holding professionals to account.
