What is a dietitian?

Dietitians are regulated healthcare professionals that use the most up to date scientific evidence to assess, diagnose and treat nutritional problems.

Dietitians are required to undergo vigourous training in nutrition, science and behaviour change at university level and also need to complete at least 6 months of clinical training in a healthcare or hospital setting before they can start practising.

In summary, you can be assured that a dietitian will be using safe and evidence-based practice to guide you in improving your health.
