What is Dietetics?

Dietetics is the branch of knowledge relating to the diet and its effects on health, especially with the practical application of a scientific understanding of nutrition. Dietitians are regulated healthcare professionals who are qualified to assess, diagnose, and treat nutritional problems.

Dietitians work on altering their patient’s nutrition status based on their medical condition accommodating to individual needs. Furthermore, they team with other healthcare professionals to promote better personal health outcomes.

Dietetics in Singapore and around the world

Registered dietitians hold the only legally recognisable graduate qualification in nutrition and dietetics. In Singapore, at present there are no statutory regulations governing the practice of nutrition and dietetics. Registration awarded by the Health and Care Professionals Council of the UK is an indication that a dietitian is fit to practice and is working within an agreed statement of conduct.
