Nutrition & Dietetics

The dietitians' primary function is to provide nutrition counselling to inpatients, outpatients and their caregivers. We work in multi-disciplinary teams to provide wholesome healthcare to our patients. We assess the nutritional status of patients and recommend appropriate dietary plans. We work closely with Food Services Department to provide healthy and tasty meals to inpatients to help with their condition.

Besides clinical services, we also conduct nutrition talks and workshops to the hospital staff, corporate clients and members of the public.

We also play active roles in various professional and community organisations such as Singapore Nutrition & Dietetics Association, Diabetic Society of Singapore, Singapore Association of the Study of Obesity and Singapore National Heart Association.
