Prior to the one-to-one personalised consultation you will have an initial 10 minute telephone consultation to discuss your dietary requirements. It may be necessary to contact your GP to clarify any symptoms/medical conditions, but this will only be done with your permission. This is especially important if you have recently been diagnosed with a long-term medical condition where the diet required may differ depending on the exact nature of the diagnosis.
One-to-one personalised consultation (one hour). This consultation will include:
- Clarifying issues/symptoms and medical history
- Weighing and taking other body measurements (if necessary)
- Discussing your current lifestyle and dietary habits and preferences
- Setting sustainable, realistic and achievable goals. This will include an individually tailored eating plan which will appeal to your taste preferences and fit in with your lifestyle
- Deciding if a follow up appointment is required to review progress or goals
- Writing a report, with any supporting written information, which will be sent to you after the consultation
- Sending a copy of the report to your GP, with your agreement, where a medical issue has been discussed.
A follow up appointment (30 – 45 minutes) may be recommended to help monitor your progress and address any issues that have arisen following your one-to one consultation.
Flexible consultation schedules are available to suit your individual needs.
