About the Dietitian Clinic NU Healthcare, NÄL and Uddevalla Hospital

The Dietitian Clinic consists of 8 dietitians distributed between NÄL and Uddevalla Hospital. The hospitals are centrally located in both Uddevalla and Trollhättan, making it convenient to commute from nearby places such as Vänersborg and Gothenburg.

The main task of the Dietitian Clinic is to be responsible for nutritional assessment, evaluation, treatment, and follow-up regarding diet and nutrition at all clinics within NU Healthcare, except for the Children's and Adolescent Clinic and the eating disorders unit, which have their own dedicated dietitians. The dietitians meet with patients both inpatient and outpatient and are also part of a network with other healthcare professionals and conduct training sessions.
