Nutrition and Dietetics

We've moved

We have just recently moved to a new location, the full address and contact details can be found at the bottom of this page.

What is the service?

We are a specialist team of Dietitians providing a Community based Nutrition and Dietetics service. We provide advice and support to adult patients and carers locally within the community through one-to-one counselling, group education, and teaching on a number of topics about nutrition.

What does this service do?

We support patients, carers and community health care professionals through education, training and providing informative literature.

Our service is available in North and West and Inner City and East Bristol. We do however accept patients referred for 'Carbohydrate Counting' from all areas of Bristol.

We work at a number of community locations in Bristol, such as GP surgeries and health centres, and we try to see patients at a community site as close to their homes as possible.

Who is this service for?

Our service is for people who are diabetic and/or undernourished, and those who have heart disease, or who need to lose weight and have other medical /health problems. We also see people with other conditions such as osteoporosis, polycystic ovaries syndrome (PCOS), irritable bowel syndrome, food intolerance and iron deficiency anaemia.

How can I access this service?

Patients must be referred to our service by their GP, Practice Nurse or other Health Professional. To refer to our service please complete and return the referral form from the ‘Document Downloads’ section of this webpage.

Patients can refer themselves for our ‘Carbohydrate Counting’ advice however this does require confirmation of medical details from your GP and these details must fit within our specific referral guidelines.
