Registered Dietitian is abbreviated as “RD”

A “Registered Dietitian” (“RD”) is a regulated title of a health profession and is protected by law. It is unlawful for anyone to refer themselves as a Dietitian or RD unless they go through the entire qualification process.

 

RDs are health professionals and leading nutrition experts who are uniquely trained to give advice on diet, food and nutrition. Specifically to support you through health promotion, disease prevention, treatment, support and rehabilitation. We work in various settings such as hospitals, schools, public health clinics and family health teams, nursing homes, fitness centers, food industry, universities, research and in private practice.

What do RDs do?
