Nutrition and Dietetic Service

What we do

Registered dietitians are the only qualified health professionals that assess and treat dietary and nutritional problems, are regulated by law and are governed by an ethical code.

Dietitians use the most up-to-date public health and scientific research on food, health and disease which they translate into practical guidance to enable individuals to make appropriate lifestyle and food choices.
