    • The demand for therapeutic diets, including weight reduction and diabetes management, is significant.

    Purpose of the Study:

    • To evaluate the implementation and outcomes of a dietetic clinic within a general practice.
    • To assess patient satisfaction and the impact of dietary advice on health outcomes.

  • Over one year, 462 patients were seen (207 new, 255 repeat visits).
  • Data collected included patient demographics, types of diets advised (reducing, diabetic, therapeutic, antenatal, infant), and home visits for the elderly.

    • Main Results:

    • 68% of patients were on reducing diets, and 8% were diabetics.
    • Encouraging results were observed in patient weight reduction.
    • A notable decrease in prescriptions for appetite suppressants and laxatives was recorded.
    • Patients expressed high satisfaction with the availability of in-practice dietary advice.

    Conclusions:

    • Integrating dietetic services into general practice is feasible and well-received by patients.
    • The clinic demonstrated positive outcomes in weight management and potentially reduced medication reliance.
    • General practice-based dietetic clinics can effectively address diverse patient needs for therapeutic dietary guidance.
