About me

Qualified and experienced State Registered Dietitian with 20 years of clinical and private practice expertise, specialising in nutritional support, bariatric surgery, weight management, gut health and lifestyle management. Proven leader in resource development, patient education, and multidisciplinary team collaboration.

I qualified as a State Registered Dietitian in 2000 after gaining a BSc In Applied Consumer Science at Manchester Metropolitan University and a Post-Graduate Diploma in Dietetics at Leeds University.

I gained experience in working in various NHS hospitals until I joined the private sector in 2003. Here I broadened my expertise in adult general medicine, surgical nutritional support, and weight loss surgery. As a leader in innovative care provision, I was part of a team that established active patient-led support groups, developed and implemented nutritional screening tools and provided hospital wide training on therapeutic diets.

In 2011 I set up LA Dietitians Ltd as a specialist provider of clinical dietetic services.

LA Dietitians works seamlessly with multi-disciplinary teams, and closely with leading Consultants and Healthcare Professional to ensure the best of care is provided to patients throughout their treatment. At LA Dietitians I aim to provide effective, tailored dietary advice with compare and compassion. Whether you need to help lose weight, treat medical issues or need some advice about healthy eating, I can guide you with a suitable action plan to help you achieve your goals.

Societies I belong to:

The Northwest BDA branch
BDA Gastroenterology Specialist Group
British Obesity and Metabolic surgery Society (BOMSS)
Parenteral and Enteral Nutrition Group
