The role of the dietitian is to provide individualised nutrition assessment, recommendations on dietary modification and to provide education to the patient and carer as appropriate.
Patients requiring a dietitian assessment will be referred by medical, nursing or allied health staff. Patients and their families can also request to be seen by a dietitian.
Reasons for referral may include:
malnutrition
enteral or parenteral feeding
gastrointestinal diseases
renal disease
liver disease
cancer
allergies and intolerances
eating disorders
diabetes
cardiovascular disease and stroke.
A doctor’s referral is required for most outpatient dietitian services.
