The Nutrition Services at Farrer Park Hospital offer comprehensive dietetics support to patients and their caregivers—whether in the hospital, outpatient settings, or the wider community.
Our experienced dietitians are trained in the science of food, nutrition, and their impact on health and disease. They translate evidence-based research into practical, personalised dietary advice tailored to each individual's condition, lifestyle, and wellness goals.
Upon referral, dietitians assess your nutritional needs, diagnose concerns, and develop a medical nutrition therapy plan. They also provide one-on-one dietary counselling and work closely with the wider healthcare team to enhance your clinical outcomes and overall well-being.
