Nutritional Management of Disorders: assessment of disorders using specialist nutritional diagnostic tests and providing nutritional treatment for specific conditions.

Nutrition for special groups: nutritional treatments for life stage conditions, such as fertility, pregnancy, menopause and childhood.

Herbal Medicine: common OTC herbs and use within nutritional treatments.

Health Research and Critical Analysis (not needed if you have a science degree): further aspects of critical evaluation.

Clinical Practice Level Two and Three: using diagnostic evaluation, evidence based practice and nutritional treatment plans in ‘real’ consultations under professional supervision. Level three studies will also develop your reflective skills. All clinical practice takes place at Raworth. There are more than 200 hours of clinical practice and consultation, of which at least 50 hours are observed. These modules include further study in developing the therapeutic relationship with more advanced communication and consultation, based on introductory NLP techniques. This gives you more skills for motivating clients to follow your nutritional treatment plan.
