The Shrewsbury and Telford Hospital NHS Trust offers a range of therapy services within the hospitals and across Shropshire. These services include:

Dietetics

Dietitians are specialist practitioners qualified to translate information about food and nutrition into practical dietary advice to promote health and treat disease.  Dietitians support and advise clinicians in developing diagnoses of nutritional problems.

They provide individualised dietetic intervention using their expertise in food interactions, enteral feeding, food fortifications and behavioral modification and counselling skills.
