About the children's dietitians service

dietitian with patient

First Community's dietitians are qualified and experienced dietitians who provide a service in the community for children, including children with a learning disability.

Our team works across east Surrey and West Sussex to assess, diagnose and treat dietary and nutritional problems.

How to refer

What is a dietitian?

Registered dietitians are the only qualified health professionals that assess, diagnose and treat dietary and nutritional problems at an individual and wider public health level. Our dietitians work with both healthy people and those that are unwell. Uniquely, dietitians use the most up-to-date public health and scientific research on food, health and disease to enable you to make appropriate lifestyle and food choices.

Service location and contact details

Our dietetics services are delivered at several locations across east Surrey and Sussex including in Crawley, Horsham, Oxted, Redhill, Horley and Caterham.
