Nutrition and dietetics service

Treating children with a wide range of weight and eating conditions

We support children and young people with a wide range of nutritional needs. We work closely with families to provide tailored advice and treatment plans that make a real difference to health and wellbeing.

What we do

We care for children with conditions where nutrition plays a vital role in treatment and recovery. This includes:

  • weight faltering (when a child's weight gain is slower than expected) and growth concerns
  • underweight (excluding known eating disorders)
  • selective eating difficulties, including those linked to autism spectrum disorders (we manage severe conditions in the specialist feeding clinic)
  • food allergy and intolerance, including complex or multiple allergies (managed in our specialist allergy service)
  • vitamin and mineral deficiencies, such as anaemia
  • constipation and other gastrointestinal issues
