Making changes to what you eat and drink can be an important part of your kidney treatment

How can a dietitian help?

Advice on food choices can be different for everyone. Dietitians can provide information to suit your own needs.

When you meet a dietitian, you will be able to discuss your:

Usual food and drink choices.
Kidney blood results and your treatment.
Other health conditions you have such as diabetes.
Questions about food and drink.

The dietitians can help you change your food and drink choices for your health. You can speak to your kidney doctor or nurse about seeing a dietitian.

Our team of kidney dietitians at Southmead hospital are:

Amy Greenhough – Team lead
Clare Gallimore
Fiona Hunter

Kiera Sneddon
Cathy Grove
