Clinical Paediatric Dietetics

The authoritative guide to Paediatric Dietetics for both studying and experienced dietitians endorsed by the British Dietetic Association

Clinical Paediatric Dietetics, Sixth Edition is a comprehensive manual that focuses on the practical aspects of managing the dietary needs of children with various medical conditions. This text provides extensive coverage of the clinical areas where a paediatric dietitian works, including both acute and community settings, and is grounded in evidence-based clinical practice.

Written by experienced paediatric dietitians, academic research dietitians, metabolic consultants, and a paediatric psychologist, Clinical Paediatric Dietetics offers a well-rounded perspective with extensive revisions to incorporate the latest scientific and medical research, including topics such as:



Safeguarding, food poverty, food insecurity, and sustainable diets
The impact of complex illness on the family, supporting the family, communication and behaviour change skills
Blended diets, food hypersensitivity, and prevention of food allergy
Avoidant/restrictive food intake disorder (ARFID) and the effects of autism on food-related behaviours
Equality, diversity and inclusion issues and their impact on children's nutrition and eating habits

Using worked examples, real-world case studies, and user-friendly tables, Clinical Paediatric Dietetics is an essential tool to support all clinical dietitians who care for and look after neonates, children, young people, and their families.
