Dietetics (pre-registration). Caledonian University
Dietetics has been a recognised health service career for many years and the School has been a recognised training centre for dietitians for over 65 years.
The
programme aims to apply previous academic knowledge in psychology,
biochemistry and other related subjects to the clinical setting and
integrate this with nutrition and dietetics.
The holistic nature
of client care is reflected in the behavioral science elements of the
programme, which allows eligibility to apply for HPC (Health Professions Council) Registration in Dietetics.
We do not expect all our applicants to have visited a dietetic
department but if you are fortunate enough to have experience of
speaking with a dietitian or visiting a dietetic team, then it is
appropriate to include this in your personal statement.
