The dietetic intervention.

The purpose of this document is to consider how to relate the NICE and other obesity related recommendations to dietetic weight management interventions for adults in the one to one setting. In so doing it develops a suggested framework for the weight management consultation that is grounded in the evidence while proposing possible practical solutions in those under-researched areas where specific recommendations are as yet unavailable. It draws on the experiences of dietetic departments that have redesigned their services as a way of illustrating the processes used and the possible outcomes that can be achieved in practice. Importantly it also identifies areas of dietetic practice requiring further research and highlights the importance of auditing dietetic weight management services to enhance our understanding of outcomes achieved and developments required.
