Many people suffer with different eating disorders such as anorexia, bulimia and obesity. When people suffer with eating disorders they will need specialist help from a dietician or nutritionist. Dieticians work with many people with different problems. They help people change eating habits to ensure their health is as it should be.
When I was younger I was teased at school for being obese, I had always suffered with my weight and eating habits. It was not until I began at college that I made the decision to lose weight drastically. I joined the college gym and had advice from those that worked in the gym for healthy eating. In my first year of college (10 months) I had managed 5.5 stone, and had never felt better. I knew I still had a long way to go but I knew now the hard work paid off. In my second year of college I decided this was something that I wanted to help others with as I knew personally what the struggles could be with weight issues. I went on to study human nutrition at university.
Dieticians can be based in a hospital or work within the community, role can vary greatly. In a hospital you would usually work within one area, such as a children’s health where you may run clinics in order to help those with special dietary needs.
When working in the community you would be working as part of a team with other professionals where you visit individuals to offer advice and support to clients. You may also be involves in activities or events that are run to raise awareness for health.
In order to become a dietician you would need a degree in Dietetics or human nutrition. To qualify at degree level 5 GCSE’s A*-C are usually required (including Maths, English and Science). Three A-Levels (or equivalent) are also required. To work specifically in diet and nutrition a scientific A-Level would be needed.
Starting salaries start from £21, 388 – £27, 901 a year
Experiences dieticians can earn up to £40, 558 a year
