Amy Nevin

Dietitian, Metro South Health – Queensland Spinal Cord Injuries Service

Dr Amy Nevin is a clinical dietitian who specialises in spinal cord injury rehabilitation. Her areas of research interest include changes to energy needs and body composition following spinal cord injury, and other factors that may influence energy needs including pressure injuries and spasticity. Amy is also passionate about improving access to high quality food and nutrition in rehabilitation environments and upskilling the Dietetic workforce to better support people living with spinal cord injury in the community.
