This will include the provision of highly specialist advice on issues ranging from the provision of expert opinion on individual patient treatment options, to being a contributor to dietetic and related pathway development.
- Lead on and develop effective communication between primary care services, PCNs and other relevant care providers. Educate on the role of the Dietetic-led pathways including its impact on referral patterns and patient care pathways.
