The Clinical Nutrition
Descriptor
Clinical Nutrition is the
application of nutrition science in the promotion of health, peak performance
and individual care. Clinical Nutrition practitioners use a wide range of tools
to assess and identify potential nutritional imbalances and understand how
these may contribute to an individual's symptoms and health concerns. This
approach allows them to work with individuals to address nutritional balance
and help support the body towards maintaining health. Clinical Nutrition is
recognised as a complementary medicine and is relevant for individuals with
chronic conditions, as well as those looking for support to enhance their
health and wellbeing.
Practitioners consider each
individual to be unique and recommend personalized nutrition and lifestyle
programmes rather than a 'one size fits all' approach. Practitioners never
recommend Clinical Nutrition as a replacement for medical advice and always
refer any client with 'red flag' signs or symptoms to their medical professional.
They will also frequently work alongside a medical professional and will
communicate with other healthcare professionals involved in the client's care
to explain any Clinical Nutrition programme that has been provided.
Clinical nutritionists use a
holistic approach to healing, taking into consideration the whole person, mind,
body and soul. This approach is evidence-informed, meaning research findings
and traditional medicine knowledge are combined to inform treatments plans.
Clinical nutritionists
recognize that disease is complex and is caused by a combination of factors. As
a result, clients are given individualized care in response to their health.
Clinical nutritionists mostly
work in primary and secondary healthcare. Primary care is a clients’ first
point of contact with the health system, often at the preventative or early
stages of health-related issues. Secondary care is generally for acute
health-related issues requiring intervention.
The Clinical Nutritionist
requests that the Client notes the following:
The degree of benefit
obtainable from Clinical Nutrition may vary between clients with similar health
problems and following a similar Clinical Nutrition programme. Nutritional
advice will be tailored to support health conditions and/or health concerns
identified and agreed between both parties.
Clinical Nutritionists are not
permitted to diagnose, or claim to treat, medical conditions.
Nutritional advice is not a
substitute for professional medical advice and/or treatment.
Your Clinical Nutritionist may
recommend food supplements and/or functional testing as part of your Clinical
Nutrition programme and may receive a commission on these products or services.
Standards of professional
practice in Clinical Nutrition are governed by the CNHC Code of Conduct.
This document only covers the
practice of Clinical Nutrition within this consultation, and your practitioner
will make it clear if he or she intends to step outside this boundary.
