Patients may seek support for weight change, poor appetite, diabetes, heart disease, digestive symptoms or nutritional needs during illness and recovery. The dietitian evaluates usual intake, lifestyle, medical history, test results and treatment goals to identify deficiencies, excesses and realistic opportunities for change. Care involves an individual meal plan, education, behaviour-focused counselling and coordination with the treating team, followed by review and adjustment. The department aims to improve nutritional status, make disease management more practical and help patients sustain healthier eating over time.
