Explore the nutrition questions that may be relevant to your care. Acceptance into a service depends on the person’s needs, the right professional and local availability.
This page describes areas for nutrition support, not a promise that every specialist service is currently available. The treating team’s instructions take priority when a diet needs medical supervision.
Making meal timing, portions and carbohydrate choices understandable alongside prescribed medicines.
Coordinate with: Your nutrition professional and diabetes clinician. Avoid skipping meals or changing medicines without advice.
Discussing salt in everyday cooking, packaged-food labels and practical choices within your heart-care plan.
Coordinate with: Your nutrition professional and treating clinician. Heart-failure fluid and salt advice must be individualised.
Turning the renal team’s instructions into meals, with protein, fluid, potassium and phosphate decisions informed by stage, treatment and reports.
Coordinate with: A professional with renal nutrition expertise and the nephrology team. A generic low-protein or high-protein diet is not suitable for everyone.
Discussing appetite, food intake, weight change, treatment-related eating difficulties and caregiver support.
Coordinate with: Your oncology team and a suitably experienced nutrition professional. Food planning supports treatment; it does not treat the cancer itself.
Making the treating team’s nutrition instructions practical and addressing poor intake or difficulty maintaining a regular food routine.
Coordinate with: Your hepatology or treating team and nutrition professional. Do not start a restrictive “detox” diet or assume all liver conditions need the same plan.
Reviewing the food and symptom history, existing diagnosis, restrictions and the everyday difficulty being experienced.
Coordinate with: Your clinician and nutrition professional. Unexplained symptoms need assessment before broad food exclusions.
Discussing food access, appetite, weight trends, meal preparation and assistance with eating.
Coordinate with: Your treating team and nutrition professional; rehabilitation or swallowing specialists when needed.
Helping caregivers organise food around an already assessed swallowing, positioning and nutrition plan.
Coordinate with: The rehabilitation team, dietitian and swallowing professional. A food consultation does not establish a safe texture or feeding route.
Exploring practical mealtime routines, selective eating and whether specialist paediatric nutrition support is needed.
Coordinate with: The child’s paediatric and nutrition team. No cure, behaviour-change or routine exclusion-diet promise is made. Specialist availability must be confirmed.
Share existing dietary instructions, relevant reports, medicines and the difficulties you want help with. Do not order a panel of tests or start a restrictive diet just to prepare for a consultation.
Start with your story. Build a plan you can use.
