Dietitians are the only qualified and regulated health professionals with the Health Care Professions Council (HCPC) that assess, diagnose and treat diet and nutritional problems for both individuals and the wider public.
We work with you to identify practical guidance that will help you to manage your dietary health.

We can help you with the following:
- You or someone you are caring for needs to regain weight following a spell of ill-health or as the result of a medical condition
- You are wanting or needing to lose weight in a safe and sensible way
- You are experiencing symptoms of a food allergy or intolerance
- You are having problems feeding your baby or child
- You suffer with digestive problems or coeliac disease
- You have been diagnosed with a medical condition, such as diabetes, high blood pressure or cardiovascular disease
