Primary Care Dietitians is England's only independent specialist first contact dietetics provider. We are purely focused on supporting NHS Primary Care Networks (PCNs) and their GP practices to deliver high-quality and tech-enabled NHS primary care FCD solutions.
Through PCD, our dietitians will work through the Roadmap with us, and be supported by experienced and Health Education England trained clinical supervisors, with an aim to deliver an integrated and local FCD managed service to provide quality care to patients.
Registered Dietitians are qualified health professionals that assess, diagnose and treat dietary and nutritional problems at an individual and wider public health level.
They utilise behaviour modification methods and motivational interviewing techniques as well as innovative digital practice to enable service users to make appropriate lifestyle and food choices to manage their own conditions, enabling a positive impact on clinical outcomes.

By making it easier for patients to access an experienced dietitian without needing to see a GP first, patients will have quicker access to diagnosis and treatment, helping them to manage their conditions more effectively and recover faster, so they can get back to normal life quickly.
Through their advanced clinical skills and acting as a true first point of contact, our FCDs help to reduce GP workload as well as reducing unnecessary patient referrals into secondary and community care services.
