Nutrition and Dietetics

As Dietitians, we are qualified and regulated health professionals that assess, diagnose and treat dietary and nutritional-related problems at an individual and wider public health level to help improve poor health, prevent bad health and promote good health.

We use the most up-to-date scientific evidenced-based research on food, health and disease which is then translated into practical guidance to help facilitate appropriate changes to lifestyle and food choices.

Who Is It for?

We work with healthy and sick people in a variety of settings, including: surgery, critical care, gastroenterology, elderly care, mental health, learning disabilities, child health, community settings, and public health.

Can Anyone Use This Service?

There are various referral options for the services we provide. However, we only accept referrals from fellow health care professionals.
