Dietitians are Allied Health Professionals (AHP) that diagnose and treat diet and nutritional problems, both at an individual patient and wider public health level.
Working in a variety of settings, including primary care, with patients of all ages, dietitians support changes to food intake to address diabetes, food allergies, coeliac disease, and metabolic diseases.
Dietitians also translate public health and scientific research on food, health, and disease into practical guidance to enable people to make appropriate lifestyle and food choices.
Dietitians can become First Contact Practitioners.
