-
Yes, you will need a D904 referral from your GP to engage in Dietitian services.
-
This is not essential; however, If you do have any recent blood tests, diagnostic testing or medical reports it will be beneficial for you to bring these along to your first appointment so we can understand your health journey to date.
-
This isn’t necessary; we spend the time in the initial appointment to discuss your eating habits and general day-to-day variabilities. Although if you would find this useful to remember your intake then please bring it along!
