What is dietetics?
Dietetics is the science of how food and nutrition affect health. It involves assessing, diagnosing, and treating dietary and nutritional problems using personalised dietary advice and lifestyle recommendations.
Dietitians are qualified healthcare professionals regulated by the Health and Care Professions Council (HCPC). They use the latest research and medical knowledge to translate complex nutrition science into practical guidance that helps improve and maintain health.
Unlike unregulated nutritionists or health coaches, registered dietitians work across both clinical and community settings. They are trained to manage complex medical conditions and liaise with doctors, nurses, and other specialists to ensure a coordinated approach to your care.
At Ross Hall Hospital, our dietitians support patients with a wide range of needs, from general wellbeing and weight management to specialist medical nutrition for conditions such as diabetes, IBS, food allergies, and digestive disorders.
