Thank you for contacting Health Careers Raavi. It’s fantastic to hear you found our dietitian advert informative. If university is not currently an option for you, you could consider another role in the NHS that would not involve having a degree.

being a dietary aide/clerk is pretty cool, you get to learn about different therauptiec diets, put tube feed orders into the dietary computer program, & even see patients on the floor to help them pick out what to eat (that likely depends on the hospital your working at) and of course take orders over the phone. the math we have to do we can use a calculator, & no higher education required.
@@alldolls10@HealthCareers what for those who have done their bachelor's in Science (Chemistry, Zoology, Botany) and Master's in Food and Nutrition? I am an overseas student, I completed all my education in my country only. In my country, 5 GCSEs are equal to the 10th, 2A levels are equal to the 12th, undergraduate is equal to the Bachelor, and post-graduation is equal to the Master's. So I have done a Bachelor of Science as an undergraduate and a Master in Food and Nutrition Science as a postgraduate.

If Dr can answer. Earlier before 2022, from 2002, I used to eat full breakfast, full lunch, you can say basic, 4pm whole pizza and snacks in night. With 20oz soda a day. Now I can only eat one small bowl of rice with lentil or vegetables, 2cups tea and 2-3 cookies a day why?
I love the science bit about this job but I’m not the best at maths and not as social as you’d need to be 😢 is there any alternative courses and careers that include a lot of the science aspect of this? I’m in 6th year (final year in secondary in ireland) and I’m stumped on what to put for on my cao application.
I am an introvert to the core, and somehow I manage to be a very good nurse. Simply put, you adapt and overcome your fears as part of the job. Before I became a nurse, I was grossed out by worms/ maggots and when I heard that I may have to deal with that as part of the job, I swore I'd never do nursing for nearly 3-4 years prior. Today, I've been qualified for more than 5-years. I'm still scoleciphobic, but this hasn't stopped me qualifying and doing my job on a day to day basis. My advice to you is, don't let your current fears hold you back.
This is a great video im in year 12 and would love to be a paedratric dietitan how can i qualify to become one, my plan is to do biomedical science undergraduate then a postgraduate on dietetics, but how would i be involved with children?

during your postgrad you would do placements, most likely in the NHS, during those placements and following you may be involved with children some of the time, once you get a year or twos experience you can then start applying for more specialist roles like paediatrics :)
@@HealthCareers Hi it's been over a year, but would you have any advice for me to get experience is there an email I can get to contact someone.

Hi there, I’m a graduate student from University of Roehampton. I’ve been trying to apply as a dietetic assistant with the nhs in so many nhs jobs online but all I see is Band 5 and 6 roles. Please can you share more details on how to go about that? Maybe band 3 perhaps. Thanks
Hi, I’m currently in s4 (year 10 in England) and I’m looking at career options. I would be very interested in doing this a career however I’m not quite sure of how to get into it. Would an undergraduate degree in health and social science get me qualified to do this job? Thanks.
Hi Tianna, It's great to hear you are interested in a career as a dietitian. The minimum academic entry requirements for degree courses in dietetics are usually 5 GCSEs grades 9-4/A -C (including maths and English) and 2 A Levels (most require at least one science), or equivalent level qualifications. In reality, universities often require 3 A levels or equivalent. But you need to check entry requirements with individual universities as they vary. All dietetics courses are at degree level and most are for 3 or 4 years if studying full time. During the time you are a student, your time is split between the university and practical placements in a variety of healthcare settings.
I dont think whoever runs this channel read your question. No it would not, you need to do a undergrad degree in dietetics, or a degree like biology/chemistry then do a masters in dietetics.
I'm not sure if a health and social science undergrad degree would be accepted for you to get into a masters for dietetics, i'd imagine not, but its best if you email a course provider or two to find out for sure :) What you are looking for is courses accredited by the HCPC and the BDA. They are all called either 'dietetics' or 'nutrition and dietetics' and typically run 4 years, though there are some that run 3. If you did a masters then that would be 2 years.

That would be great, I wonder what the recruitment policy is for offenders. And, if there's any voluntary roles, to get information out into the community. I wonder what the attitude is to weight loss. It seems quite, focused on eating stuff. Nevermind.
Thank you for contacting Health Careers Robert, It’s fantastic to hear you are considering a career within the NHS. Having a criminal record depends on the nature of the offence, and the sort of work you want to do in the NHS - for example, for roles with direct patient contact you will usually legally be required to declare all criminal offences. General information about gaining experience (including volunteering) can be found on our website at: www.healthcareers.nhs.uk/career-planning/improving-your-chances/gaining-experience If you are looking for information regarding weight loss we would suggest speaking to your Doctor. Best wishes, Health Careers Team
@@HealthCareers Thank you. I did speak to my Dr. I forgot about most of what he said on the phone. (Only joking, no I remember some things he said, but I am not saying what they are). There's a strange contradiction. In that, weight loss. (Not really relevant).And, I am very confused. I have been unemployed for ages actually. But, just recently because of the lifestyle. Of self employment. In trying to take up opportunities. Like, unpaid and generally. Helping others at a financial loss. Of, keeping going. So sharing, a place and. Myself. Well, looked after. Unfortunately though. In gaining so much weight! So. If people. Don't do anything. They will be fat. If they do stuff probably they will make mistakes. So, thanks for your reply there. I already applied and they did not like my mistakes. So, I don't think, I am going to be able to live without making a few mistakes. But actually, I got my Bachelor's degree in Analytical Chemistry. I thought they would be keen to recruit me. Back when, I was motivated to apply. But, obviously. My qualifications are not going to exactly fit a role and location. However with Covid-19. I really think I have some skills to contribute and knowledge. However, I might need a very physically undemanding role. Like, this message typing is fine. And home based roles, or you know. Support with getting transport and stuff. So, that change. Won't really happen overnight. In fact the high rents and house prices. So, to work. I am actually. Finding that, in small business. I am warning the health services. There needs to be political change. In that the underground, black market. Is created jobs like now: Putting sugar into drinks. Brewing up alcoholic drinks. Selling cigarettes. Because of the high taxes, on certain products. Small business is going to be left with the only option of smuggling. Or tax evasion. Because, it's eneviatble that it's quite inefficient. Or claiming benefits. If not, this rehabilitation of offenders really? That's really hopeless. So really that's not a great policy to chuck people on the scrap heap for one offence. And, in trying to succeed in one objective. So in achieving lots of things, and being active. I feel perhaps it's impossible not to offend folks. And since making a few mistakes. I have changed my behaviour. In that I do nothing. But, now I am incredibly fat. So, yes. Did you hear about jobs anywhere else? If, I was to become. A slim energetic person? Although. I was thinking. I would like to work on the phone as , I could manage that maybe an advice line?
Dear Anoosha, Thank you for contacting Health Careers. It’s fantastic to hear you are considering a career as a dietitian within the NHS. To work as a dietitian you must be registered with the Health and Care Professions Council (HCPC). In order to register, you need to have successfully completed an HCPC approved programme leading to the required qualification. These qualifications are usually an undergraduate degree, completed at university with clinical placements in healthcare settings. There is no nationally-set academic standard for entry. The exact requirements are set by each university and will vary, depending on where you wish to study. However, as a guide, for entry onto an undergraduate degree programme or degree apprenticeship, candidates will typically need 5 GCSEs at grades 9-4/A*-C, and a minimum of 2 A Levels. In reality, universities will require 3 A levels at high grades. Universities may accept an alternative level 3 qualification (such as an Access course) for those who do not have the required GCSEs and A levels. If you already have a degree in a related subject, you may be able to take a shortened/accelerated pre - registration course for some of the allied health professions. Again, check our course finder (above) for details of these accelerated courses. Details of approved courses leading to eligibility to apply for statutory professional registration can be found on the Health Careers website, using the course finder tool at: www.healthcareers.nhs.uk/courses Degree apprenticeship standards have been approved for most allied health professions, offering an alternative route to registration. You can apply for most apprenticeships at any age. NHS services in England are currently provided by around 1,000 separate organisations. Each is an employer in its own right, and each organisation has its own apprenticeship policy. All of the NHS organisations in England and Wales advertise their job and apprenticeship vacancies on the NHS Jobs website: www.jobs.nhs.uk NHS organisations and other health sector employers will also advertise apprenticeship vacancies on the Government website: www.gov.uk/apply-apprenticeship Further information on the allied health professions careers can be found on our website: www.healthcareers.nhs.uk/explore-roles/allied-health-professionals/roles-allied-health-professions/dietitian Students on approved pre-registration courses (nursing, midwifery, most allied health professions, dental hygiene and dental therapy) in England usually need to take out student loans like any other students. However, from September 2020, all eligible nursing, midwifery and many allied health professional degree students will receive a training grant of at least £5,000 a year. Eligibility criteria, including residency, are set out in the NHS Learning Support Fund guidance which can be found on the NHS Business Services Authority (NHS BSA) website www.nhsbsa.nhs.uk/LSF. As Health Careers is an information service and is not resourced to provide careers guidance or counselling you may find it beneficial to contact the National Careers Service for free careers advice and guidance.

Ma'am I completed the course of TB medicine last year. Now, I am completely fine but the doctor has suggested me to make a diet plan for such food which is protein or vitamin B12 or other nutrients. Please suggest a diet plan plan for it
I have a food as medicine playlist that would teach you a lot about foods. Vitamin B12 comes from animal sources mostly, but you can do nutritional yeast, algae supplements, nori seaweed, and mushrooms to name a few vegan sources of vitamin B12.

i’m in year 11 and finished my mocks. for science i got a pretty good grade (6,7 combined science) but for maths i got a 4. I’m pretty good at everything else (for english language i got an 8) etc, but maths always ruins it :( would this be okay for 6th form? because i wanted to to biology, chemistry and possibly psychology but for some 6th forms they want you to get at least a grade 6 to do these subjects and a 5 in english language

entry requirements vary wildly for 6th forms, you would have to check with the individual 6th forms/colleges
That would be great, I wonder what the recruitment policy is for offenders. And, if there's any voluntary roles, to get information out into the community.
I wonder what the attitude is to weight loss. It seems quite, focused on eating stuff. Nevermind.
Thank you for contacting Health Careers Robert, It’s fantastic to hear you are considering a career within the NHS.
Having a criminal record depends on the nature of the offence, and the sort of work you want to do in the NHS - for example, for roles with direct patient contact you will usually legally be required to declare all criminal offences.
General information about gaining experience (including volunteering) can be found on our website at: www.healthcareers.nhs.uk/career-planning/improving-your-chances/gaining-experience
If you are looking for information regarding weight loss we would suggest speaking to your Doctor.
Best wishes,
Health Careers Team
@@HealthCareers Thank you. I did speak to my Dr. I forgot about most of what he said on the phone. (Only joking, no I remember some things he said, but I am not saying what they are).
There's a strange contradiction. In that, weight loss. (Not really relevant).And, I am very confused.
I have been unemployed for ages actually. But, just recently because of the lifestyle. Of self employment. In trying to take up opportunities. Like, unpaid and generally. Helping others at a financial loss.
Of, keeping going. So sharing, a place and. Myself. Well, looked after. Unfortunately though. In gaining so much weight! So. If people. Don't do anything. They will be fat.
If they do stuff probably they will make mistakes.
So, thanks for your reply there. I already applied and they did not like my mistakes.
So, I don't think, I am going to be able to live without making a few mistakes.
But actually, I got my Bachelor's degree in Analytical Chemistry.
I thought they would be keen to recruit me. Back when, I was motivated to apply.
But, obviously. My qualifications are not going to exactly fit a role and location.
However with Covid-19. I really think I have some skills to contribute and knowledge.
However, I might need a very physically undemanding role.
Like, this message typing is fine.
And home based roles, or you know. Support with getting transport and stuff. So, that change. Won't really happen overnight.
In fact the high rents and house prices. So, to work. I am actually.
Finding that, in small business. I am warning the health services. There needs to be political change.
In that the underground, black market. Is created jobs like now:
Putting sugar into drinks.
Brewing up alcoholic drinks.
Selling cigarettes.
Because of the high taxes, on certain products. Small business is going to be left with the only option of smuggling. Or tax evasion. Because, it's eneviatble that it's quite inefficient.
Or claiming benefits.
If not, this rehabilitation of offenders really?
That's really hopeless.
So really that's not a great policy to chuck people on the scrap heap for one offence. And, in trying to succeed in one objective.
So in achieving lots of things, and being active. I feel perhaps it's impossible not to offend folks.
And since making a few mistakes. I have changed my behaviour. In that I do nothing. But, now I am incredibly fat.
So, yes.
Did you hear about jobs anywhere else? If, I was to become. A slim energetic person? Although. I was thinking. I would like to work on the phone as , I could manage that maybe an advice line?
Is Smart weighing scale, (which tells you about your age,muscle mass, fat etc )reliable?
No
Sort of but not super accurate, the measurements fluctuate a lot depending on water intake, salt, muscle saturation ect.
Which language an overseas dietitian has to give to work in the UK? Can academic ielts also work?
Hi, I’m a MBBS doctor in Bangladesh..I’m quite interested in this career .. but i dnt know how to proceed..would you help?
Can you help me?
Is dietitian a good field
Dear Anoosha,
Thank you for contacting Health Careers.
It’s fantastic to hear you are considering a career as a dietitian within the NHS. To work as a dietitian you must be registered with the Health and Care Professions Council (HCPC). In order to register, you need to have successfully completed an HCPC approved programme leading to the required qualification. These qualifications are usually an undergraduate degree, completed at university with clinical placements in healthcare settings.
There is no nationally-set academic standard for entry. The exact requirements are set by each university and will vary, depending on where you wish to study. However, as a guide, for entry onto an undergraduate degree programme or degree apprenticeship, candidates will typically need 5 GCSEs at grades 9-4/A*-C, and a minimum of 2 A Levels. In reality, universities will require 3 A levels at high grades. Universities may accept an alternative level 3 qualification (such as an Access course) for those who do not have the required GCSEs and A levels.
If you already have a degree in a related subject, you may be able to take a shortened/accelerated pre - registration course for some of the allied health professions. Again, check our course finder (above) for details of these accelerated courses.
Details of approved courses leading to eligibility to apply for statutory professional registration can be found on the Health Careers website, using the course finder tool at: www.healthcareers.nhs.uk/courses
Degree apprenticeship standards have been approved for most allied health professions, offering an alternative route to registration. You can apply for most apprenticeships at any age. NHS services in England are currently provided by around 1,000 separate organisations. Each is an employer in its own right, and each organisation has its own apprenticeship policy. All of the NHS organisations in England and Wales advertise their job and apprenticeship vacancies on the NHS Jobs website: www.jobs.nhs.uk
NHS organisations and other health sector employers will also advertise apprenticeship vacancies on the Government website: www.gov.uk/apply-apprenticeship
Further information on the allied health professions careers can be found on our website: www.healthcareers.nhs.uk/explore-roles/allied-health-professionals/roles-allied-health-professions/dietitian
Students on approved pre-registration courses (nursing, midwifery, most allied health professions, dental hygiene and dental therapy) in England usually need to take out student loans like any other students.
However, from September 2020, all eligible nursing, midwifery and many allied health professional degree students will receive a training grant of at least £5,000 a year. Eligibility criteria, including residency, are set out in the NHS Learning Support Fund guidance which can be found on the NHS Business Services Authority (NHS BSA) website www.nhsbsa.nhs.uk/LSF.
As Health Careers is an information service and is not resourced to provide careers guidance or counselling you may find it beneficial to contact the National Careers Service for free careers advice and guidance. They are available via phone, email, or you can make a face-to-face appointment.

Ma'am
I completed the course of TB medicine last year. Now, I am completely fine but the doctor has suggested me to make a diet plan for such food which is protein or vitamin B12 or other nutrients.
Please suggest a diet plan plan for it
I have a food as medicine playlist that would teach you a lot about foods. Vitamin B12 comes from animal sources mostly, but you can do nutritional yeast, algae supplements, nori seaweed, and mushrooms to name a few vegan sources of vitamin B12.

It decreases breast size. The omega 3's in flaxseed helps to lower estrogen levels which in turn decreases breast size.
