Model and Process for Nutrition and Dietetic Practice
Details
This guideline introduces the revised British Dietetic Association Model and Process for Nutrition and Dietetic Practice, abbreviated to ‘Model and Process’. The purpose of the Model and Process is to describe, through the six steps, the consistent process dietitians follow in any intervention; with individuals, groups or populations, in clinical settings, public health or health promotion. The Model and Process also articulates the specific skills, knowledge and critical reasoning that dietitians deploy, and the environmental factors that influence the practice of dietetics. The Model and Process does not take away dietitians’ autonomy. Instead, it enables a consistent approach to dietetic care, with the service user at the centre.
