Why Buy Dietetic Services

Purchasers of dietetic services may have very limited or patchy knowledge of the role of a dietitian outside of obesity and diabetes.This can mean that they may not value the dietitians input and are less likely see the benefit of commissioning that service.

If however dietetics is presented as part of a holistic, integrated package of care focussed on evidence based outcomes achievable for the patient, the purchaser can then purchase a complete package at one stop.

It is important to consider why a purchaser would purchase your service over another.  The following documents will assist you in doing this.
