Dietetics
The Department of Nutrition and Dietetics within Lincolnshire’s hospitals is made up of a team of 20 dietitians and six support staff based at four different sites across the county; Lincoln County Hospital, Pilgrim Hospital, Boston, Grantham and District Hospital and County Hospital, Louth.
We also provide a service to John Coupland Hospital, Gainsborough, Skegness and District General Hospital, and the Johnson Community Hospital, Spalding, as well as to Lincolnshire Partnership NHS Foundation Trust.
Outpatients clinics are also held at a number of health centres and GP surgeries across Lincolnshire.
There is a small Home Enteral Feeding team who support patients and carers with enteral feeding in the community. There is close working with community diabetes services to provide nutrition education.
Our aim is to provide an effective nutritional education service for both patients and staff. Some of the areas we cover are:
- Nutritional support and enteral feeding
- Obesity management
- Nutrition in children
- Nutrition in renal disease
- Nutrition in coronary heart disease
- Stroke
- Diabetes
- Mental health service
We provide individual consultations and some group sessions. We accept referrals for both inpatients and outpatients. Medical staff and qualified health care professionals can refer to our service.
