What is a Dietitian?

Dietitians are highly trained healthcare professionals who translate nutritional information into practical dietary advice. They determine the nutritional needs of patients, including those requiring total parenteral nutrition or supplemental meals, and provide guidance on food-related issues and intolerances.

Specializations in dietetics may include fields such as diabetes, oncology, renal medicine, or paediatrics. Dietitians may be involved with patients facing conditions such as:

  • Renal failure
  • Crohn’s disease
  • Palliative care
  • Hyperemesis gravidarum (severe pregnancy sickness)
  • Anorexia nervosa
  • Food allergies and intolerances

Dietitians work with a broad range of patients and medical conditions, offering ample opportunities for professional growth and development.

Dietetics Qualifications

To become a dietitian, one must complete a degree in Dietetics and Nutrition or a related field. In the UK, dietitians must be registered with the Health and Care Professions Council (HCPC). Compassion and understanding are crucial, as dietary issues can be highly sensitive. A strong scientific foundation is essential for precise nutritional planning, and dietitians must work effectively with a multidisciplinary team, including doctors and nurses. Some dietitians may also work in community settings, conducting home visits or holding clinics.

Dietitian Salary Range

Dietitians typically start at Band 5 of the NHS Agenda for Change pay scale, earning around £25,000 per annum. With experience and additional responsibilities, salaries can reach up to £45,000 or higher for management roles. Locum dietitians often receive higher hourly rates, ranging from £18 to £30, with potential additional pay for unsocial hours or overtime.

What Does a Locum Dietitian Do?

Locum dietitians perform similar duties to permanent staff, focusing on patients who need dietary adjustments for weight management, medical conditions, or restricted diets. While a permanent dietitian may spend more time building relationships with patients and the healthcare team, locum dietitians need to quickly adapt and establish rapport. If you’re interested in locum dietetics positions, explore our current opportunities or read testimonials from our existing locum dietitians.
