Jessica Cheng is a Senior Dietician at St Vincent’s Hospital, Sydney specialising in haematology and bone marrow transplant patients. Jessica recently attended a virtual workshop run by the Academy of Nutrition and Dietetics in America to learn more about nutrition management of Graft vs Host Disease (GVHD) from a US perspective.

Being able to attend this workshop via live webinar provided Jessica with access to an international professional development opportunity, rarely provided in Australia. It also offered the convenience and safety of remote learning during a time of COVID.

Arrow supported Jessica in attending this course thanks to our Arrow Shaun Rosen Nursing Scholarship. Jessica found the course very insightful and educational saying “It was a wonderful learning experience. It spurred on much thought and inspiration and I hope to be able to reflect and share learnings with fellow dieticians.”

We are proud to be able to assist nurses in the transplant field access worldwide knowledge and develop their learning in nutrition management – an important part of a patient’s treatment and recovery.
