What is a Dietitian?
Dietitians are qualified and regulated health professionals that assess, diagnose and treat dietary and nutritional problems at an individual and wider public-health level. They 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.
Dietitians work in close liaison with Dietetic Assistant Practitioners, other health care professionals and with other agencies such as education providers and the voluntary sector. We regularly support the development of Dietetic University students, helping to build upon the number of qualified dietitians working across the country.
