We are hoping to get D.S. referred to a dietician. Thinking we might have to go private. Does any one know whether dieticians specialise in certain areas?

They each have a blurb explaining their location and something about their areas of expertise/practice.

Why not try to go through your GP first? Admittedly it may take longer.

We r hoping he will get referred by his surgeon. But having to wait five and a half months since the op. to see him. Five more weeks to go now! So don't want to wait another ....months to see dietician. G.P. will not refer him got to wait for surgeon. D.S. on very restricted diet at moment. Very thin. Oh dear poor state of N.H.S.
Thanks for the replies.
