Dietetics

The dietetics department provides dietetic support to people in hospital and in the community. The acute team is based at Russells Hall Hospital and the community team is based at Stourbridge Health and Social Care Centre.

Dudley’s dietitians provide nutritional support and dietary information to a variety of people.  We are registered with the Health and Care Professional Council (HCPC), are members of the British Dietetic Association (BDA) and are qualified to give specialised advice on diet and nutrition.  We work to improve the nutritional status of inpatients and the management of long term conditions. We work in a variety of specialist areas including paediatrics, renal, oncology, diabetes, bariatric surgery and artificial enteral nutrition (tube feeding). We also work with the Trust’s catering partners to ensure that hospital food meets recognised nutritional standards.

In addition to providing an inpatient service, we also provide outpatient services, including dietitian-led clinics across the Dudley borough and a service to patients at their own homes, nursing and care homes.

To find out more about the role of a dietitian and work of dietitians please visit the British Dietetic Association: https://www.bda.uk.com/ where you can find useful information and food facts, which are written by dietitians to help you to learn the best ways to eat and drink to keep your body fit and healthy.

Our department working times are 8.30am – 4.30pm
