Department of Nutrition and Dietetics

Registered Dietitians (RDs) are the only qualified health professionals that assess, diagnose and treat diet and nutrition problems at an individual and wider public health level. Uniquely, Dietitians use the most up to date public health and scientific research on food, health and disease, which they translate into practical guidance to enable people to make appropriate lifestyle and food choices. The title Dietitian can only be used by those appropriately trained professionals who have registered with the Health Care Professions Council and whose details are on the HCPC's website.Our department accepts referrals from all healthcare professionals and self referral for adults experiencing clinically significant unexplained weight loss (look at our self referral tool below). We only accept referrals from medical doctors and specialist nurses for specialist conditions such as inflammatory bowel conditions, diabetes, liver problems and for children under the age of 16.Our team is made up of Dietitians, Nutrition Nurses, a Dietetic Support Worker and our administration team. Between us, we cover all the wards at Nobles Hospital, Manananan court and Ramsey and District Cottage Hospital, as well as providing care to Mental Health, Diabetes, Renal and Cancer services. We hold a number of outpatient clinics for adults each week at various locations. The Paediatric Dietetic clinics are held in Women’s and Children's Outpatient Department.
