Nutrition and Dietetics
Our team dietitians and dietetic associate practitioners provide specialist nutritional advice to help prevent and treat disease as well as improve health and wellbeing.
We offer a range of face-to-face appointments, including clinics, home visits for housebound patients, video calls and telephone appointments, depending on patient preference, need and availability. We also provide group education sessions.
