Nutrition & Dietetics
The Department of Nutrition & Dietetics facilitates GP's in the North Dublin area by running an outpatient clinic 3 times per week.
GP referrals:
Please give your patient a note for the Dietitian stating their diagnosis and any relevant blood results. Your patient should ring the Dietitian to make an appointment. Generally all patients are seen within 2-3 weeks. All follow up appointments are arranged at the patient's convenience. The Dietitian will provide the patient with a written diet sheet to take home if this is appropriate. The Dietitian will continue to see the patient until such time as the dietetic treatment is deemed to be completed. You will receive correspondence detailing the progress of your patient.
Self referral:
Please telephone the Department on 01 806 5488 for an appointment. All Bon Secours Dietitians are members of the Irish Nutrition & Dietetic Institute.
