Registered Nutritional Therapists
Registered Nutritional Therapists consider each individual to be unique and recommend personalised nutrition and lifestyle programmes rather than one size fits all approach. Registered Nutritional Therapists never recommend nutritional therapy as a replacement for medical advice and always refer any client with red flag signs or symptoms to their medical professional. They also frequently work alongside a medical professional and will communicate with other healthcare professionals involved in the client's care to explain any nutritional therapy programme that has been provided. Their professional body is the British Association for Nutrition and Lifestyle Medicine, www.bant.org.uk. Registered Nutritional Therapists are regulated by the Complementary and Natural Healthcare Council, www.cnhc.org.uk.
Dietitians
Dietitians work principally in the National Health Service and are regulated by the Health and Care Professions Council. Their professional body is the British Dietetic Association.
