Questions about paediatric dietitian support

What does a paediatric dietitian do?

A paediatric dietitian is a qualified health professional specialising in the nutrition of babies, children and young people. Support can include feeding, allergy, growth and nutritional concerns.

Do I need a referral from my GP?

No. Families can enquire directly. Where medical assessment or input from another healthcare professional is needed, I will explain this clearly.

What happens during an individual consultation?

We discuss your child’s health and feeding history, current intake and your concerns. You will receive practical, evidence-based recommendations tailored to your child and family.

Can appointments be online?

Yes. Online consultations are available where appropriate, alongside local appointments and home visits by arrangement.
