Dietitian Courses

A Dietitian provides advice on diet and nutritional needs. You might be helping clients with specific needs such as gaining or losing weight or helping people adjust to particular diets such as low sugar or gluten-free options. Dietitians conduct patient assessments and may design menus or meal plans to suit individual circumstances.

Dietitians should be patient and able to understand the individual circumstances of their clients. It’s important you have strong personal skills and can communicate well with patients from a range of backgrounds. Dietitians must be flexible and be able to liaise with other health care providers when required.
