Dietetics

Dietetics is the application of the science of nutrition to the construction of diets and the selection and preparation of foods, in health and disease.

A dietitian will have undertaken training in a hospital and/or community setting as part of their course and is specially trained to give practical advice to individuals about their diets. Many dietitians are employed in the NHS, and they work with both healthy and sick people, as well as their families.

With patients who need special diets, dietitians use their scientific knowledge to provide practical information that is appropriate to the patient’s medical history and lifestyle.
