Food and Nutrition Central About

About

Hello,

I'm Dalhia. I am the Founder and Principal Dietitian at Food and Nutrition Central

I have a BSc Honours degree in dietetics, I have over 30 years experience in dietetics, within both the NHS, in industry and as a freelance dietitian.

As a registered dietitian I am a regulated nutrition expert; ideally placed to translate the complex science of nutrition and explain this in a practical meaningful way to help improve your health. I aim to empower and facilitate positive changes in food choices through education and understanding of what matters to you.

I am a member of the British Dietetic Association and registered with the HCPC (Health & Care Professions Council). I am an accredited Work Ready Dietitian (the BDA's dietitian-led wellness initiative) and I have a wealth of experience delivering employee health and wellbeing for almost 10 years.

I am a mum to 2 boys (now young men), and currently I work part time within the NHS and as a freelance dietitian, having set up my own freelance consultancy Food and Nutrition Central almost 20 years ago.

Experience

With over 30 years of dietetic experience in the NHS and freelance, I can draw upon my extensive expertise and offer practical helpful suggestions for a variety of therapeutic diets for clinical conditions as well as general health.

Professional

I am registered with the HCPC (Health and Care Professions Council) and am a member of the British Dietetic Association.

I am an accredited Work Ready Dietitian. The BDA Work Ready programme is a nutritional wellness programme tailored to your employees needs and is delivered by registered dietitians.

Quality assurance

Dietitians are qualified and regulated health professionals that assess, diagnose and treat dietary and nutritional problems at an individual and wider public-health level.

The term dietitian is a protected title and as such, a dietitian is qualified to at least degree level in dietetics (or related degree with a post graduate diploma in dietetics).

Registration under HCPC (Health & Care Professions Council) ensures a professional and ethical standard of practice and gives you the piece of mind that you will be getting trusted advice based on quality scientific evidence.
