Hotel Services Management Solutions have announced Dr Alison Yaxley as one of their first panel members for the Innovation and Changes Forum for Aged Care Hospitality Services.

This forum, through its panel members, will have a detailed look at aged care cookery and the changes it has undergone in recent years – and where it is heading. It will encourage those currently working in hospitality who wish to create positive impact (or those who would like to); either to understand how to improve the consumer experience through the use of food,  taking in considerations of budget, health outcomes and social wellbeing.

Dr Alison Yaxley is an academic in Nutrition and Dietetics at Flinders University and an Accredited Practicing Dietitian, as well as the Food Service Domain Leader, teaching food service to student dietitians, including oversight of their professional practice placements in their final year. Much of Alison’s research is conducted in the ageing space, with a key area of interest being food service satisfaction, and she currently co-supervises a PhD student whose work is focused in that area.

.

Alison is committed to improving the food service in aged care through education and research to ultimately improve the experience of residents.

She will be a great inclusion on the panel.
