What does a computerised dietary analysis entail?
This service can be provided as part of a standard appointment or as a stand alone service.

For dietworks to complete a computerised dietary analysis, a 6 day food diary is sent to you by email or post for you to complete and return. Once the completed food diary is received, the information on your diet is analysed with the aid of a computer package. A report is then written explaining how your diet compares to the recommended dietary guidelines for health. Information is also provided on what healthy changes could be made to help achieve the recommendations for health.

To request a computerised analysis of your diet - complete the contact us form and we will send you a food diary for completion. Payment is required prior to emailing or posting the final report to you.

How do I get an appointment with a dietitian?

1. phone dietworks on 02890844949

We will be happy to discuss any concerns or queries that you have.

Must I be referred by my doctor?
NHS Nutrition & Dietetic Departments must have a doctor's referral before the department can offer you an appointment. Dietworks can make an appointment for you without a doctor's referral. You can refer yourself to dietworks. However, in some cases we may need to speak to your GP or consultant to ensure we have all the correct medical information needed to provide you with the appropriate advice.

If you have private health insurance, your insurer may cover the cost of a dietworks consultation. You are advised to check your policy with your company. For your insurer to cover the cost of the consultation, it is necessary for your consultant to refer you to dietworks.

Does Dietworks contact my GP?
In some cases it is necessary for dietworks to contact your doctor. This is normally when a person has an existing medical condition. Dietworks would need to be fully aware of the correct medical information before providing advice. Dietworks will inform you if we need to contact your GP prior to proceeding with the appointment.

Dietworks will write to your GP or consultant following the initial appointment to explain what advice has been given. If you do not wish for us to do this, please feel free to discuss it with us.

What do I need with me at an appointment?
Useful information to bring with you to an appointment include:
Information on recent blood tests.
A list of your current medication
Your completed food diary if applicable

If you have private health insurance, you should check if your company will cover the dietworks consultation fee prior to the appointment. You should bring the claim number with you to the appointment. Dietworks can invoice your insurer directly.
