Introducing dietetics into general practice
Abstract:
A dietetic clinic, initially monthly, now weekly, is held in a general medical practice with four partners. In one year 462 patients were seen (207 new and 255 repeat visits); 68% were on reducing diets and 8% were diabetics. Advice was given on a variety of therapeutic diets, ante-natal and infant feeding. The elderly were visited at home. Patients were pleased to have dietary advice available in general practice. Results of weight reductions have been encouraging. Prescriptions for appetite suppressants and laxatives have dropped.
