Role Description
Dietitians are healthcare professionals that diagnose and treat diet and nutritional problems, both at an individual patient and wider public health level. Specialist areas of practice for dietitians in primary care may include frailty and malnutrition, diabetes, overweight and obesity, gastroenterology, and paediatrics (including faltering growth, food allergies and intolerances).
Dietitians translate public health and scientific research on food, health, and disease into practical guidance to enable people to make appropriate lifestyle and food choices
