Clinical Nutrition program overview

Diet plays a part in most of the chronic conditions seen in general practice, and patients increasingly look to their GP for nutrition advice they can trust.

The Clinical Nutrition pathway is designed to progressively build the knowledge to assess and manage nutrition in primary care — from dietary guidelines and popular diets through to nutrition for chronic disease, eating disorders and behaviour change.

  • Use dietary guidelines to guide treatment, and separate evidence from popular diet myths and fads.
  • Give nutrition advice for pregnancy, childhood, sport, ageing, food allergies and gut health.
  • Manage nutrition in chronic disease, including diabetes, cardiovascular, kidney and gastrointestinal conditions.
  • Progress at your own pace through two certificate levels, fully online.
