Patients and their relatives, carers or support workers are seen in clinic, their day centre or their own home. A choice of dates and times will be offered when booking an appointment.

The dietitian will undertake a full assessment and provide individual dietary advice on how best to improve their nutrition. 

When you stop having appointments with the dietitian you will be provided with a plan to follow at home. You can always be re-referred in the future if more advice is needed.
