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."

The British Dietetic Association
