Weight and nutrition: specialists in Newcastle

Dietitians give personalised eating plans, and exercise physiologists help build safe activity, often under a GP chronic condition plan.

When to see your GP about it

  • A health condition affected by what you eat
  • Wanting a plan that suits you
  • Food intolerances or digestive symptoms

Your GP is usually the first step. They can examine you, arrange tests and, if needed, write a referral to someone in Newcastle.

Do I need a referral to see a dietitian about weight and nutrition?

How soon can I be seen?

It depends on the practitioner and area. Spec Book shows live appointment times so you or your GP can see who has the soonest opening in Newcastle.

Can I use telehealth?

Many practitioners offer telehealth for follow-ups or first consultations where an examination isn't needed. Filter for telehealth when you search.
