Clinical Dietitian Service

Clinical Dietitian Service

A healthy relationship with kai can help you reach your personal goals. Our THINK Hauora Clinical Dietitian Service offers one-on-one and group sessions to help you understand more about food and the impact it can have on your health and wellbeing.

What does the service offer?

Help manage your long-term conditions

Our dietitians can talk to you about what healthy kai is for you, and how it could help you manage your long-term health conditions. Food can have an impact on medication, your sleep, physical movement and other everyday activities. This service will help you understand the best foods to eat to benefit your health and wellbeing.

Details of the service

We have a number of programmes and the service you receive will depend on what support you need. When you first access the service, one of our dietitians will give you a clinical assessment (find out a bit of background about you, your health, lifestyle and how you eat), talk to you about what goals you’d like to work towards achieving and share tips and advice based on your own specific needs. They will discuss with you how often you should meet with our team.

Our clinical dietitians can:
  • Help you learn more about reading and understanding the nutritional information on packaged food labels
  • Help you learn more about food and the nutritional needs to help manage your specific long-term condition
  • Share information about choosing the best food for you.

The clinical dietitians can visit you at home, at our clinics or at certain GP practices in the area.

How can I access this service?

You will need to be referred to the service by your general practice team or health provider. This service is available free to people who have a pre-existing long term condition, as well as people who have recently had a diagnosis for, or are at risk of developing, a long-term condition.

When and where?

One of our team will be in contact with you to arrange an initial meeting. Here they will discuss further appointments, and where would be best to meet.
