• Healthy gut and bowel management (probiotic foods, fibre and fluid requirements)
• Wound healing, including recommendation of wound-healing supplements where needed
• Diabetes (Type 1 & Type 2)
• Healthy Eating
• Osteoporosis
• Parkinson’s Disease
• Implementation of Special Diets
• Hydration and skin integrity
• Advice regarding selection of Meal Service Delivery Providers where required (considering any medical conditions), for example Lite n’ Easy, Gourmet Meals, Cameron’s Kitchen, Tender Loving Cuisine.

Where required, individual services also extend to dietary prescription of Oral Nutrition Supplements, for example Ensure, Sustagen, fibre-containing supplements, protein-containing supplements, renal supplements, texture-modified supplements (depending on specific conditions/needs our clients may have).

Individualised Meal Plans are designed and provided, as needed. All advice is conveyed in a simple, easy-to-implement manner. Relevant nutrition information sheets are also supplied.
