Dietetics consult
What does a Consult entail?
Your first appointment may take up to an hour, and your follow-up (if needed) may take up to 30 minutes. An appointment includes the following:
Nutritional Assessment
Your weight & height may be measured. Sit on scales available.
Body composition analyser available for adults, this gives ‘Health Squad’ type read outs such as body fat, muscle mass, body mass index (BMI), calorie requirements, visceral fat levels and metabolic age.
BP measurement available
We can also arrange blood tests if requested at an additional cost
Dietary Assessment
A detailed diet history is taken (i.e. an account of your usual eating pattern)
Dietary Advice
Individualised dietary recommendations are discussed with you and targets for change are agreed between you and your Dietitian.
Written Information
A diet sheet and/or goals for change are given to you, with all the information you need to help you achieve your targets.
What about follow-up?
Your Dietitian will continue to see you until such time as the dietetic treatment is deemed to be completed.
