Clinical Nutrition

Clinical Nutrition

This clinical nutrition course focuses on the human body and its relationship with food. 

Engaging and educational, the course material will have you thinking about the ways food can affect physical health and the overall sense of wellbeing. Students will analyse links between nutrition and disease and examine the workings of the metabolism.

Learn how to think like a clinical nutritionist and the responsibilities for advising and supporting individuals as they adjust their diets to suit their dietary needs.

This qualification is not only useful to those who already work in nutrition and wish to progress, but also to those who want to understand a bit more about health and nutrition for their own benefit.
