The authoritative guide to Paediatric Dietetics for both studying and experienced dietitians endorsed by the British Dietetic Association

Clinical Paediatric Dietetics, Sixth Edition is a comprehensive manual that focuses on the practical aspects of managing the dietary needs of children with various medical conditions. This text provides extensive coverage of the clinical areas where a paediatric dietitian works, including both acute and community settings, and is grounded in evidence-based clinical practice.

Written by experienced paediatric dietitians, academic research dietitians, metabolic consultants, and a paediatric psychologist, Clinical Paediatric Dietetics offers a well-rounded perspective with extensive revisions to incorporate the latest scientific and medical research, including topics such as:

• Safeguarding, food poverty, food insecurity, and sustainable diets
• The impact of complex illness on the family, supporting the family, communication and behaviour change skills
• Blended diets, food hypersensitivity, and prevention of food allergy
• Avoidant/restrictive food intake disorder (ARFID) and the effects of autism on food-related behaviours
• Equality, diversity and inclusion issues and their impact on children's nutrition and eating habits

Using worked examples, real-world case studies, and user-friendly tables, Clinical Paediatric Dietetics is an essential tool to support all clinical dietitians who care for and look after neonates, children, young people, and their families.
