About the Practice
When food worries are linked to a hospital team, parents need dietetic advice that fits the medical plan. Nottingham Children's Hospital Paediatric Dietetics supports Nottingham families with feeding, nutrition and dietetic questions where meals, growth, allergy, sensory eating or tube feeding have become stressful. The focus is practical clinical guidance that protects the child’s health without turning food into a daily fight.

Support can be relevant where restricted eating, sensory eating, autism, ADHD, anxiety, developmental delay or wider SEND pressure is part of the mealtime picture
Parent guidance around food variety, growth, safe foods, nutrition gaps and calmer mealtime routines
Why Work With Us?
Nottingham Children's Hospital Route: Parents can see the professional route, dietetic or feeding scope and safeguarding questions before trusting someone with their child’s nutrition.
Medical Nutrition and Specialist Paediatrics: Support looks at intake, growth, symptoms, safe foods, feeding history and family routines so the plan fits real life, not an idealised food chart.
Parent and Professional Connection: Hospital dietetics can connect growth, symptoms and treatment so parents are not left piecing it together alone.
