  • About
Senior Specialist Catering Dietitian at Leeds Teaching Hospitals NHS Trust
My job is to support the catering team to ensure our menus not only meet the national nutritional guidelines and legislation, but also taste great.
This means ensuring we can provide appropriate nutrition for those needing therapeutic diets, eg, gluten free for patients with coeliac disease, or specific allergen free meals.

“When we deliver something they really like, that’s good for them and makes them feel better then they tell us. Which is really rewarding.”
