What is a Dietitian?
"There is lots of different dietary and nutritional advice out there. However, dietitians are the only qualified health professionals that assess, diagnose and treat diet and nutrition problems.
Only those registered with the Health Care Professions Council (HCPC) can use the legally protected title ‘dietitian’.
Dietitians are the only nutrition professionals to be regulated by law and governed by an ethical code, to ensure that they always work to the highest standard."

Clinical Training & Professional Governance
A Registered Dietitian is a qualified healthcare professional who is trained to assess, diagnose and treat diet and nutrition-related problems. Dietitians can work with both healthy individuals and people with medical conditions, translating scientific evidence into safe, practical and personalised nutrition advice.
In the UK, the title Dietitian is legally protected. This means only someone who has completed an approved dietetic qualification and is registered with the Health and Care Professions Council (HCPC) can use the title. Registered Dietitians must meet professional standards and practise safely and ethically.
For people living with prediabetes, type 2 diabetes, raised cholesterol, weight concerns or other health conditions, working with a Registered Dietitian can provide added reassurance. Advice is based on clinical training, evidence-based practice and an understanding of how nutrition interacts with medical conditions, blood results, medication and long-term health.
At The London Diabetes Dietitian, you will be supported by Chanda Pattni, Registered Dietitian, with specialist experience in diabetes prevention, type 2 diabetes and sustainable behaviour change.
