What does a nutritionist do?

Nutritionists are qualified professionals who specialise in food and nutrition. They work with people to develop personalised nutrition plans that address specific concerns and dietary needs. If you’re struggling with your weight, nutritionists can offer advice to help you improve your eating habits.

Should you see a dietitian or nutritionist in Aberdeen?

We often get asked ’Who is the best person to give nutrition advice?’ The answer is a registered dietician. Why? Well, there are several differences between a dietitian and a nutritionist:

  • Qualifications and regulation. Dietitians are regulated healthcare professionals registered with the Health and Care Professions Council (HCPC) in the UK, ensuring they meet strict standards for education and professional practice. Nutritionists are not regulated by law, meaning their qualifications vary.
  • Scope of practice. Dietitians are trained to create diet plans to manage health conditions like diabetes, heart disease, and obesity. Nutritionists can offer general dietary advice but are not qualified to provide support for medical conditions.
  • Clinical experience. Dietitians often work in clinical settings like hospitals and GP practices, where they provide dietary advice to patients based on their medical needs. Nutritionists generally work in non-clinical environments, such as wellness centres or private consultations, focusing on general health and wellness.

At Aberdeen Weight Loss Clinic, we don’t offer nutritionist appointments. Instead, we offer same-day appointments with registered dieticians. You can learn more about our online Aberdeen dietician service, as well as our weight loss injections and pills.
