Nutrition Services provides a wide range of dietetics services to patients and their caregivers in the hospital, outpatient and the community. Dietitians translate scientific evidenced-based research on nutrition, health and disease and apply this information into practical nutrition guidelines to help improve the clinical outcome and health of individuals.
Upon referral, our dietitians assess the nutritional intake and requirements of patients, diagnose and plan their medical nutrition therapy, and provide personalised dietary counseling. The team at Farrer Park Hospital Nutrition Services will liaise closely with healthcare professionals to provide patient care.
