Dietitians in Northern Health |
 |
Registered Dietitians within Northern Health provide nutrition expertise and support in a variety of ways:
 Administrative dietitians manage food production and distribution in a cost effective and food safe manner in hospitals and long term care facilities.
Most hospitals, health centres and long term care facilities employ clinical dietitians who identify nutrition problems, assess nutritional status of individuals, develop and monitor nutrition care plans and provide education on special diet modifications.
Population health dietitians use population-based strategies, including community development, capacity building, health promotion, education, advocacy and policy development, to support the attainment of community food security. |
