Enhanced practice is a level of practice, beyond the entry level, which encompasses the largest proportion of dietitians. Learn more about this level of practice, and access our informative Enhanced Practice resources.

Dietitians have a critical role to play in supporting primary care services, allowing a focus on prevention and ensuring service users are seen by the right healthcare professional in their local community.
Private practice enables dietetic services to be accessed by service users at a time and setting that suits them. However, there are important considerations dietitians need to make when entering private practice.
During your dietetic career, you may choose to take a break and may not practise dietetics for a period of time, and therefore leave the HCPC register. If you later decide to return to practice, you can find a wealth of support and resources to help you.
