What is a Dietitian?
Dietitians are qualified and regulated health professionals that assess, diagnose and treat dietary and nutritional problems at an individual and wider public-health level.
They work with healthy people as well as people with health problems in a variety of settings including hospitals and community settings. They work with people across the whole age range from pre conception to older adults. They can also work in the food industry, workplace, catering, education, sport and the media.
