Nutrition is essential for ensuring good health and in the treatment and management of many diseases.
Our service includes registered dietitians who are trained to degree level. The dietitians are experts in translating scientific nutritional information into practical dietary advice.
We provide accurate, impartial advice to treat ill health, prevent food-related problems and maximise recovery.
We are a team of dietitians, dietetic assistants and a specialist nutrition nurse. Our service provides nutrition and dietetic support for patients in hospitals and in the community.
