Credit points: 30
Subject outline
This subject focuses on the dietetic management of common conditions including digestive diseases, food allergy and intolerances, cancer, critical illness and surgical nutrition. Translation of dietetic theory, into practice, will occur through a hospital placement. During this placement you will integrate nutrition assessment data into a nutrition diagnosis, formulate nutrition goals, and begin to implement management plans with individual patients. You will use food service to provide therapeutic diets to inpatients, begin to educate patients, and participate in multidisciplinary team management and evaluate nutrition management plans. On placement you may encounter therapeutic diets, nutrition and lifestyle intervention to treat obesity and metabolic disease, oral nutrition support and enteral and parenteral nutrition. You will integrate best available evidence, into dietetic practice through an extended case study, by critically evaluating the management of an individual patient.
