Endorsed by the British Dietetic Association, Clinical Paediatric Dietetics, Sixth Edition is a comprehensive, evidence-based guide to supporting the dietary needs of neonates, children and young people with a wide range of medical conditions.
The book focuses on the practical aspects of paediatric dietetic care across acute and community settings. It brings together contributions from experienced paediatric dietitians, academic research dietitians, metabolic consultants and a paediatric psychologist.
Extensively revised to incorporate the latest scientific and medical research, the sixth edition explores topics including:
Safeguarding and wider determinants of health: Including food poverty, food insecurity and sustainable diets
Supporting children and families: Exploring the effect of complex illness on families, alongside communication, behaviour-change skills and approaches to providing support
Feeding and food allergy: Including blended diets, food hypersensitivity and the prevention of food allergy
Eating behaviours and neurodiversity: Covering avoidant/restrictive food intake disorder, known as ARFID, and the effects of autism on food-related behaviours
Equality, diversity and inclusion: Exploring the impact of equality, diversity and inclusion issues on children’s nutrition and eating habits
Using worked examples, real-world case studies and user-friendly tables, Clinical Paediatric Dietetics is an essential resource for dietitians caring for neonates, children, young people and their families.
Whether you are developing your knowledge of paediatric dietetics or bringing your practice up to date, the sixth edition provides practical guidance grounded in evidence-based clinical practice.
