NHS Forth Valley’s Nutrition and Dietetic Department is made up of a team of around 60 members of staff including Registered Dietitians, Dietetic Assistants, Administration Support, Nutritionists, Health Improvement Specialists, Community Food Development and Support Workers.
Our Nutrition and Dietetic Team works across a variety of settings throughout Forth Valley. We work closely with individuals supporting and empowering them to make informed choices about their own treatment and lifestyle plans, encouraging them to self-manage their nutritional intake, based on what matters most to them.
We offer one-to-one consultations, either face to face or video link (Near Me) or telephone appointments, and group sessions. We also deliver education sessions and training on nutrition and hydration in a variety of settings including care homes, early years and educational establishments, prisons, workplaces and throughout our local communities.
If you need support with your appointment, for example access to Interpretation and Translation Services, or support with transport to your appointment, visit Attending Outpatient Appointments.

What do Dietitians do?
Dietitians are experts in nutrition, they translate the science of nutrition into easy to understand and practical advice that is personalised and tailored to the patient, individual or client’s individual needs.
They assess, educate and empower individuals to make more informed, food and lifestyle choices. They also support and encourage individuals to self-manage their nutritional intake to improve their overall health and wellbeing.
