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.
The Client understands and agrees to the following:–
I am responsible for contacting my GP about any health
concerns.
I give permission for you to contact my GP regarding
any agreed aspects of my case: YES
If I am receiving treatment from my GP, or any other
medical provider, I should tell him/her about any nutritional strategy provided
by my Clinical Nutritionist (KATSIARYNA EMELJANA). This is necessary because of
any possible reaction between medication and the nutritional programme.
It is important that I tell my Clinical Nutritionist
(KATSIARYNA EMELJANA) about any medical diagnosis, medication, herbal medicine,
or food supplements, I am taking as this may affect the nutritional programme.
If I am unclear about the agreed Clinical Nutrition
(KATSIARYNA EMELJANA) programme/food supplement doses/time period, I should
contact my Clinical Nutritionist (KATSIARYNA EMELJANA) promptly for
clarification.
I must contact my Clinical Nutritionist (KATSIARYNA
EMELJANA) should I wish to continue any specified supplement programme for
longer than the original agreed period, to avoid any potential adverse
reactions.
Recording consultations using any form of electronic
media is not allowed without the written permission by both KATSIARYNA EMELJANA
and you the client.
