Many patients that have previously require a lot of time and support from GPs have been shown to be effectively treated by dietitians e.g. obese patients, patients with diabetes, IBS and malnourished patients.
Advanced dietitians can train to become supplementary prescribers and prescribe medicines that the patient would otherwise have to see the GP for.
