Message: <blockquote data-quote="ally5555" data-source="post: 36856" data-attributes="member: 7357">of course dietitians are different and they develop their skills as they get experience. My feeling is that is takes several visits to build up a rappore with a pt . BUT the bottom line is that there arent enough for the no of pts . In  Wales there are 300 for a population of 3 million - and only 6000 in the whole of the uk. diabetics are not our only clients - renal/liver disease creates very complicated diets, special care babies, pts on itu on very complictaed feeds., cystic fibrosis, post surgery - the list goes on and on.I did a diabetes talk on thurs and there were 5 new pts and none had access to a dietitian not good enough. Our knowledge evolves all the time but you also have ro take a rational approach as so much reseach contradicts itselfDietitians are not reeling from anything</blockquote>
