Our Services A - Z - Community Paediatric Dietitians
About the service
The community paediatric dietitians team provides up-to-date guidance and information about childhood nutritional problems to parents, carers, children and anybody who may be involved with a child’s care. This information can be delivered in various formats such as face-to-face appointments, video calls, telephone calls and group sessions.
The aim of the service is to provide children and families with the information required to meet their nutritional needs when the children are on a special diet. We will provide ongoing support and monitoring as required.
