🔎 A Dietitian's Approach to Patient Care 🔍 Ever wondered how a dietitian approaches dietetic care and tailors their approaches to meet the diverse needs of patients? Unsurprisingly, great insight from Chikaodili Frances Ozojie, RDN MSPH explains how: 👏 Dietetic Care: “My approach to dietary advice and support is patient-centred and evidence-based. This involves considering an individual’s health history, lifestyle, cultural background, and personal preferences. To ascertain long-term patient success, I advocate for a balanced and realistic approach to nutrition, focusing on behavioural change strategies, and regular follow-ups.” 👤 Tailored Approach: “To meet the diverse needs of individuals, assessments of the patient's nutritional status are conducted, which are reviewed alongside their biochemical test history, medical history, and lifestyle factors. Tailored care also requires in-depth considerations of a patient's dietary preferences, cultural, religious, and socioeconomic factors, and food intolerances and allergies. This supports the development of personalised, SMART dietary plans that align with the specific needs and goals of individuals. Regular monitoring and feedback allow me to adapt and refine recommendations accordingly.” Complex, long-term conditions require comprehensive interventions, met by dietetic care.

Happy World Dietetics day - Nourishing lives for a healthier tomorrow!! One of the primary focuses of dieticians is to senisitize people about the importance of balanced diet. Their expertise goes beyond weight management, extending to the prevention and management of many chronic diseases. Medicine is not healthcare. Food is healthcare. Medicine is sick care. It's time to see for what it is. Remember, every bite is a step towards a healthier you and a healthier planet. #WorldDieteticsday
