What does a dietician do?
The dietician can provide individualised dietary information for our patients. This can help you:
- Manage your diet better
- Reduce the chance of developing other health problems.
- Improve your knowledge and confidence
- Set a dietary plan or goals with you.
They will also review your progress.
Please note: you must be 18 or older to work with the dietician.
