Nutrition and Dietetic Service

Our team consists of qualified Dietitians and Dietetic Assistants along with our administration support team.  All of our Dietitians are registered with the national regulatory body, The Health and Care Professions Council.

What do we do?

The Nutrition and Dietetics department offers patient assessment, diagnosis, care planning, treatment and health education services from children to adults, seen across community and hospital settings across County Durham and Darlington.

We provide a dedicated tube feeding service to all patients who cannot eat or drink to meet their nutrition and hydration requirements. 

How can you access our services?

Individuals may be referred to the Nutrition and Dietetic Service by other health care practitioners such as your GP. All referrals are prioritised so that we can deal with urgent cases first.   For healthcare professional information on referring a patient to the dietitian, view the 'referrals and appointments tab'.
