My Experience & Achievements

Summary of my clinical experience since 2008:

I am a Paediatric Dietitian specialised in eating disorders including avoidant restricted food intake disorder (ARFID). I am currently working for NHS CAMHS eating disorder service, ARFID pathway in Leicestershire.  I am experienced in dietary management of children with Autism, ADHD, ARFID, PICA, nutritional deficiencies, restricted eating, reflux, allergies, faltering growth, feeding difficulties and bowel issues.  

In my adult dietetic experience I worked on the stroke unit and rehab unit focusing on tube feeding and managing malnutrition, prevention of stroke and cardio vascular risks.  I have advised adults on diabetes and weight management, gastro conditions such as IBS, Crohns and Colitis, Coeliac disease, cancer care, heart health, pulmonary health, nutrition support for malnutrition and bone health.
