Nutritionists use their food science knowledge to help individuals and groups make the right choices about what they eat
As a nutritionist, you’ll generate, assess and deliver scientific, evidence-based nutritional advice in a variety of settings to improve health and wellbeing and to promote a healthy diet and lifestyle.
Nutritionists often work within community settings or local authority public health teams, focusing primarily on health promotion. On occasion, nutritionists are based within health service nutrition and dietetics departments. However, you won’t lead on the diagnosis, management or treatment of medical conditions – in this setting you’ll work directly with acutely ill or hospitalised patients under the supervision of either a dietitian or other suitable, regulated, health professional.
Types of Nutritionist work
You’ll usually specialise in one (or two) of the following areas:
* sports and exercise nutrition
* public health nutrition
* nutrition science
* food science/industry
* animal nutrition
* healthcare-medical.
Carrying out your work in non-clinical settings in both the private and public sectors, including:
* educational and research institutions
* food retailers and manufacturers
* local authorities
* the media
* the National Health Service (NHS)
* overseas aid and health charities
* sports organisations.
