Nutrition and Dietetics - Specialty areas

The Nutrition and Dietetic team provides evidence-based advice and support on nutrition and diet to improve the well-being of adults and children. They assess, diagnose and treat a range of nutritional needs.

Acute teams are based at Stoke Mandeville and Wycombe Hospitals: virtually all clinical areas within the Trust are covered by a Dietitian who can advise on diet / nutrition appropriate for various conditions. Acute team Dietitians work on hospital wards and provide outpatient services.

Community teams are based at Amersham Hospital (covering South Buckinghamshire) and in Aylesbury at 66, High Street (covering North Buckinghamshire).
