Finding a dietitian
You can ask your GP or hospital consultant to refer you to an NHS registered dietitian for a specialist diet consultation which will usually take place at your nearest hospital dietetic department. If you are unable to access a dietitian via the NHS, the British Dietetic Association have a specialist Freelance Dietitians Group of registered dietitians working privately. You can search for a private dietitian at www.freelancedietitians.org although there will be a cost for a private consultation.
