FAQs
Do I need to bring anything to my appointment?
What to complete before your appointment
Once you have made an appointment, we will send you a new patient form which we will get you to fill in online before your first appointment.
What to bring on the day
Please bring any referrals from your doctors and any relevant blood tests you have had done with you to your appointment. It is always helpful when patients bring a list of any medications or supplements they are taking as well as a food diary for the past 3-7 days.
Do I need a referral from my doctor?
Dietitian Referrals
No, Dietitians do not require referrals from doctors. However, if your doctor has referred you, please bring this paperwork with you.
How many appointments will I need?
This will depend on your nutrition assessment and what you require support with. At your initial appointment, your dietitian will give you an guide as to how often you will need to be reviewed. For digestive issues and food intolerances, please allow at least 3 visits.
Do you do allergy testing?
Food Allergy Testing
Allergy testing must be conducted by a medical doctor or practice nurse so as Dietitians, we are unable to perform these tests. The Dietitians at Nutrition Wisdom do not perform allergy blood or skin prick tests however they can help you to manage any food allergy you have been diagnosed with.
