Who we are and what we do

We are a friendly team of qualified children’s dietitians.

We are focused on providing first-rate care and advice to children and their families to ensure that their nutritional needs are being met in the best possible way.

It is important to us that we work in partnership with our patients and families as well as any other health or social care professionals to achieve the best possible outcome.

All of our dietitians are degree qualified, HCPC registered and experienced in working with children.
