How to pay less

  • Ask your GP about referral to an NHS dietitian before paying privately
  • Book shorter dietitian review appointments after the first assessment, as reviews cost less than the first appointment
  • Ask whether a package of dietitian reviews costs less than single sessions

Before you book

  • Check the dietitian is registered with the HCPC, as dietitian is a protected title
  • Keep a food and symptom diary for a week before the dietitian appointment
  • Bring recent blood test results and a list of medicines to the dietitian
  • Ask whether the dietitian's fee includes a written plan or letter to your GP
