Dietetics

Clinical services · Specialty team

Our dietetics service provides individualised, evidence-based nutrition assessment and support across a wide range of health conditions and life stages. Working alongside our physiotherapy teams, our Accredited Practising Dietitians help patients understand the role nutrition plays in recovery, performance, chronic disease management and everyday wellbeing, translating current nutrition science into practical, sustainable dietary plans.

What you'll understand

You'll leave able to make your own decisions about food

A meal plan someone else wrote works until the week it doesn’t. What we’re actually trying to build is the understanding that lets you make good decisions at a restaurant, on a night shift, or three years after your last appointment.

  • Why this applies to you
    The mechanism behind the advice, not just the advice.
  • How to read a label
    And which numbers actually matter for your condition.
  • How to build a meal
    A repeatable structure rather than a fixed list of meals.
  • What to do when the plan breaks
    Travel, illness, shift work, holidays — the plan has to survive real life.
  • How this supports your recovery
    Where nutrition genuinely affects healing, and where it does not.
  • What to monitor
    Which measures are worth tracking, and how often.
Our model of care

Settle. Build. Sustain.

The same three stages we use across the practice, applied to this service — all of them inside Equip.

Equip
Stage 1

Settle

A full nutrition assessment and one or two changes that make the most difference first. We don’t rebuild your whole diet in week one.

Stage 2

Build

Progressive changes, practical skills and troubleshooting as they meet real life.

Stage 3

Sustain

Review spacing out as the habits hold, with the understanding to keep adapting them yourself.

Equip — what all three are for

Nutrition advice that isn’t understood gets abandoned. We aim for you to know why each change matters, so it survives without us.
