Specialist Dieticians
We are a team of dietitians who work across the city and county in the City and South area.
Our service supports adults aged 18 and over who have a confirmed intellectual disability, sometimes called a learning disability. We work closely with other health professionals and social care teams.
How we can help
We provide dietetic support for adults and older people with an intellectual disability who:
- are being considered for a feeding tube
- already have a feeding tube
- have Prader Willi Syndrome or a metabolic condition where specialist learning disability dietetic care is needed and no long term alternative service is available
- have grade 3 or grade 4 pressure sores
- are very underweight
- have lost 4kg or more without trying in the last 3 months
- have difficulty swallowing (dysphagia) and there are concerns about nutrition
Weight management support
For weight management or weight loss, people should use mainstream services.
