2. Adult referrals not appropriate for the Community Dietetic Service
This guidance is part of the Community Nutrition and Dietetic Service Referral Guidance
Adults under the age of 65 years with a mental health problem, which is impacting on their nutritional intake, should be referred onto the appropriate mental health services.
Patients who have been referred to or are under the care of a Community Mental Health Team will be referred, where appropriate, to specialist mental health dietitians by mental health colleagues. These specialist mental health dietitians will work with MDT colleagues to support multi-disciplinary care plans as appropriate.
It is not appropriate to refer patients with an eating disorder or disordered eating to the community dietitian.
There are dietitians who are part of the community rehabilitation teams. Patients who are under the care of community rehabilitation teams, therefore, should not be referred separately to the community dietitian.
Adults requiring weight management assessment and advice should be referred to Glasgow and Clyde Weight Management Services. The following link provides further information: Manage your weight - NHSGGC
