Overview
Dietetics is the interpretation and communication of the science of nutrition, to enable people to make informed and practical choices about food and lifestyle in both health and disease. Dietitians work with individuals with special dietary needs, inform the general public about nutrition, evaluate and improve treatments, and educate patients, doctors, nurses and other health professionals. This dietetics course covers the broad range of sciences that inform dietetics and is the first of its kind in the UK to award academic credit for practice placements. Placements are offered in the NHS, as well as in non-NHS settings. Dietitians are employed in the NHS in both hospital and community settings, and also work in other areas such as sports nutrition, the food industry, charities, education
