What education does a dietitian have and what can one do for you?

A dietitian is an expert in food science and giving dietary advice about nutrition related medical conditions. A dietitian has completed two university degrees achieved over 4 years educating him/her in biochemistry, microbiology, epidemiology, human biology and human physiology. A dietitian can be employed in many sectors of the community including hospitals, nursing homes, corporate, catering and private practice.

• Give expert advice regarding dietary requirements for a diverse range of nutrition related diseases, conditions and issues.
• Translate scientific, evidence based information into practical advice and explain it in layman’s terms.
• Assess personal food and nutrition requirements and give practical advice on how to achieve improvements in nutritional and health status.
