Dietetics

Dietitians are experts in understanding how the body works and the impact nutrition can have on your everyday life. Our Dietitian will explore your unique and varied needs to help you understand how nutrition can assist with your rehabilitation, helping you optimise your recovery. Our Dietitian is also able to provide training to carers and/or family members around appropriate food choices and thus develop a suitable nutrition plan taking into consideration current issues and client priorities.

We can assist with:

• Weight loss
• Weight regain or malnutrition
• Management of diabetes (including type 1, 2 and pre-diabetic) and optimising glycaemic control
• Management of high cholesterol and high blood pressure
• Enteral (tube) feeds and management of feeding tubes
• Balanced meal preparation
• Optimising bowel function (like constipation and diarrhoea)
• Planning meals and shopping on a budget
• Achieving a nutritionally balanced texture modified diet.

Due to some staff changes we are currently in the process of recruiting a Dietician to our team. Please contact us for further information.
