Who's it for?

Our Children’s Nutrition and Dietetic Service is a citywide service supporting children, aged 0-16 years (19 for learning disabilities), with a wide range of nutrition and health problems including:

• Cow’s Milk Intolerance/Allergy (sometimes in combination with other food allergies/intolerance)
• Nutrition support e.g. low weight/delayed growth
• Nutrition assessment e.g. iron deficiency
• Assessment of restricted diets/eating problems
• Support for patients who tube feed and their families (including input to Specialist Inclusive Learning Centres)

We work with the family to identify the changes that are needed and support the person and any carers by providing practical and accurate information.

Referrals

We accept referrals from GPs, community paediatricians, school nurses, specialist nurses, health visitors, and allied health professionals (AHPs). Referral information can be found on Leeds Health Pathways. 

On referral, the service may offer a consultation at a local clinic.
