Clinical Nutrition
Clinical dietitians are responsible for the nutritional care of patients in the hospital setting. All the large hospitals in Ireland, and the majority of smaller hospitals employ clinical dietitians. In order to be employed as a dietitian in a hospital in Ireland, a BSc in Human Nutrition and Dietetics, or a Post Graduate Diploma in Nutrition and Dietetics or Dietetics, or a recognised qualification prior to 1987 is required. The clinical dietitian is involved in the management of patients who require either nutritional support, via the oral, enteral or parenteral route. They also provide patients with therapeutic diets, which are used to optimise the well being of patients with specific medical conditions. The work of some Irish hospital dietitians is outlined in these sites.
