Why credentials are published
In a field with no barrier to calling yourself a nutritionist, the qualification of the person writing your plan is the single most useful thing you can check — and it is the thing most programmes do not put in front of you.
Every clinician who consults here has a named qualification and a published profile. If you ever cannot find the credentials of the person advising you, at this organisation or at any other, that is worth treating as information.
The standards every clinician works to
A recognised qualification
In clinical nutrition, dietetics or medicine, from a recognised institution.
Certification in the method
Training in the assessment protocol, plan construction and review standards, with periodic recertification.
Escalation criteria
Defined red flags that are referred to a doctor rather than managed nutritionally. Knowing where nutrition stops is part of the training.
Never advises on medication
No clinician here alters, reduces or advises stopping a prescribed medicine. That boundary is absolute.
Case review
Complex cases are reviewed with the central clinical team rather than carried alone.
Audit
Clinical standards at each centre are reviewed periodically. This is a condition of operating.
Clinician profiles
Publication pending. Individual profiles — name, qualification, awarding institution, registration where applicable, areas of focus and centre — are being assembled with each clinician’s consent before publication. The same panel is signing off the clinical content on this site, and both will publish together. Until then, condition pages carry [Author Name] and Dr [Reviewer Name] placeholders rather than invented names.

You may always ask. At your first consultation you are entitled to ask the clinician what they are qualified in and where they trained, and to get a straight answer. If that ever does not happen here, tell us.
The first consultation is free.Meet the clinician, ask what you want to ask, and decide afterwards.
