Nutrition and dietetics

Dietetics is the science of diet and nutrition in both health and disease

About nutrition and dietetics

Dietitians are qualified and regulated health professionals that assess, diagnose and treat dietary and nutritional problems to meet your individual needs.

Our dietitians offer a comprehensive nutrition and dietetic service.

As well as nutritional assessments, our HCPC registered dietitians provide support and advice across a range of specialties, including liver, cancer, cardiac and paediatrics.

At each assessment, your dietitian will spend time discussing your goals, and agree a dietetic treatment plan to help you achieve them.

We attract patients from many different cultures and backgrounds. Our dietitians will work with you to create personalised treatment plans that take into account your individual dietary needs, lifestyle and food preferences.

Our dietitians also oversee all of our in-house catering at Cromwell Hospital, so our food is not only tasty, but good for you too.

We create menus for a range of different cultures, and religions from Kosher to Halal, including periods of fasting and festivals.

And if you're on a special diet, such as low GI, gluten-free or vegan, we'll be happy to accommodate that too. If you have any special nutritional needs our dietitians will be happy to help you find suitable options from the menu.
