About our service

The Weight Loss You Can See’ leaflet was provided to the participants of the B.A.L.A.N.C.E. Renal & Transplant Weight Management Group. It covered all the information we wanted to convey to our participants in one, easy to use leaflet. The participants found the food and portion size photos particularly useful in helping them to implement their dietary changes and energy prescription at home.  This subsequently assisted with an average weight loss of 4.3kgs per participant throughout our 8 week programme.  We will continue to use this colourful and detailed resource in our B.A.L.A.N.C.E. groups to follow.

As with lots of Dietetic Departments across the UK cuts have been made in the Salford area.  I had to rethink how I could continue to deliver our dietetic service effectively and efficiently.  An area I decided to re-design was the development and publication of patient dietary information. This activity was cost intensive, especially from a human resource perspective, and we found it difficult as a department to keep on top of the quality processes and procedures. NDR-UK provided the answer as I decided to use only outsourced information to give to patients. Their resources are excellent dietetic tools, developed using a robust production system, providing quality assured diet and nutrition information and are available as and when I need them. One year on and dietitians can spend more time in consultation with patients, our referral capacity has increased, our waiting lists are down and I have made significant cost savings!  Patients like the way the information is presented, find it easy to follow and are engaging more effectively with advice

I have been a dietitian in England for 14 years and have always believed that diet resources should be produced at a national level to ensure evidence based information while preventing inconsistent advice. Too much time has been wasted debating minor details of diet sheets at department meetings. We've all been there!

I think the growth and recognition of NDR-UK has been one of the most positive changes I have seen in my time as a dietitian and wish you luck in moving things forward through the final changes where all the countries within the UK will be in a position to 'sing off the same hymn sheet' at an affordable price.
