Dietetics

We offer dietetic services to all education settings, including specialist and residential schools.




What do dietitians do?

Dietitians provide services related to the dietary, nutritional and eating needs some individuals face.

Registered Dietitians (RDs) are the only qualified health professionals that assess, diagnose and treat dietary and nutritional problems at an individual and wider public health level. They work with both healthy and sick people. Uniquely, dietitians use the most up-to-date public health and scientific research on food, health and disease which they translate into practical guidance to enable people to make appropriate lifestyle and food choices.
