Healthcare Professionals

Do you have a patient who could benefit from dietetic support?

I accept referrals from all healthcare professionals and prefer to work as part of a multi-disciplinary team especially when it comes to diagnosed eating disorders.  

Following a referral, you will receive a comprehensive assessment report including a treatment plan (subject to the patient consenting to this)  

I can support your patients who are suffering from an eating disorder/disordered eating by:

• Conducting a comprehensive nutritional assessment which includes an anthropometric, biochemical and clinical assessment as well as a quantitative and qualitative assessment of dietary intake and eating disorder behaviours. 

• Creating a customised plan to prevent refeeding syndrome which includes prophylactic vitamin prescription, monitoring of electrolytes whilst slowly increasing calorie intake with possible supplementation of Phosphate and Potassium if required 

• Psychoeducation about the short-term and long-term risks of an eating disorder/disordered eating behaviours including restriction, vomiting, laxative abuse, excessive exercise 

• Creating bespoke meal plan guidance to help them get back on track in a way that feels safe and manageable for them 

• Supporting patients experiencing symptoms of malnutrition through education, a ‘food first’ approach and nutritional supplementation if necessary  

• Supporting patients with weight restoration at a rate that feels manageable for them whilst mitigating any clinical risks associated with being underweight 

• Practical support including supported meals to overcome their fear of foods
