Dietetics

Paediatric Dietetic Services

Our Paediatric Dietitians work closely with other children's health professionals to provide specialist nutritional care for babies, children, and young people.

Inpatient Care

We support children on the Children's Ward and in the Neonatal Intensive Care Unit (NICU), ensuring they receive the right nutrition during their hospital stay.

Outpatient Clinics

Children registered with a GP in Bath and North East Somerset can access our community service through:

Clinic appointments
Telephone or video consultation

We also have specialist dietitian's outpatient clinics which are part of multi-disciplinary clinics for children. Clinics are held at the Royal United Hospital. Children may also be referred for a wide range of conditions by their paediatrician.
