Dietetics

Who are we?

Dietitians are registered with the Health and Care Professions Council (HCPC) and are Allied Health Professionals (AHPs). They assess, diagnose and treat diet and nutrition problems through education and provision of practical personalised advice  

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.  

Dietitians often work as integral members of multi-disciplinary teams to treat complex clinical conditions. 

The dietetic service encompasses both the acute and community teams, and has approximately 75 staff (dietitians, assistants and secretarial staff) working within the Sheffield area.
