Dietitians are the only qualified and regulated health professionals with the Health Care Professions Council (HCPC) that assess, diagnose and treat diet and nutritional problems for both individuals and the wider public. Dietitians complete years of study as well as clinical experience working in a range of settings to prepare to support you. We follow the latest up to date, evidence-based information to work with you to identify practical guidance that will help
you to manage your dietary health.

So, how does a dietitian make sure their advice is tailored to you? We think about so much more than just what you eat and drink. We consider all the factors that influence your diet, your relationship with food and your wider health and well-being. Dietitians consider your age, gender, physiology and mental health. They know one size does not fit all and understand what impact diet may have on your symptoms. They look at culture, taste and cooking skills so they don’t just recommend food that is good for you but that you’ll want to eat. They consider your environment, lifestyle and your activity levels to provide holistic solutions that take account of the full picture.
