The Model and Process

The implementation of The Model and Process for Nutrition and Dietetic Practice (abbreviated to ‘Model and Process’) by the dietetic workforce is crucial as it supports consistent, high quality practice with the service user at the centre of any intervention.

The purpose of the Model and Process is to describe, through the six steps, the consistent process dietitians follow in any intervention; with individuals, groups or populations, in clinical settings, public health or health promotion. It articulates the specific skills, knowledge and attributes that dietitians deploy, and the environmental factors that influence the practice of dietetics.

Watch our webinar providing an overview of the latest updates to the Model and Process, which includes new information and guidance regarding the application of dietetic outcome measures in clinical practice. This exciting development aims to support the dietetic workforce and students to introduce routine reporting of dietetic outcomes to their practice to highlight the unique value and effectiveness that dietetic interventions can have for individuals, groups and the wider systems within health and social care.
