We recommend allocating 2-5 sessions to dietetics services for a comprehensive assessment and management plan and review.

Once you have your referral and care plan, please email this through to info@guardiandietitian.org or ask your medical practice to do this on your behalf. Please ensure your phone number or email address is included and we will then be in touch to book you in for your initial assessment.

If you're a private patient, you don't need a referral and you're welcome to book online or via email or phone.
​
Every person has their own unique combination of living situation, social background, medical and mental health history.
That's why patient-centred care is at the heart of everything we do.
We meet you where you are, now, to assess your situation and circumstances, and tailor a plan that is right for you.
Your health journey starts with a great Dietitian.
