Dietetics
Welcome to the Dietetics section of the website. The CDRC provides a range of dietetic resources for use in clinical practice as well as helping to support your continuing professional development (CPD) needs.
For all of the available resources the CDRC works closely with healthcare professionals in clinical practice to understand their requirements and to ensure all resource literature and CPD material is relevant.

Coeliac Disease Clinic Resource Pack

This learning series aims to provide up-to-date, evidence-based summaries of relevant topic areas relating to coeliac disease. There are five learning modules in the series covering different topics and can be used for CPD purposes.
Gluten-Free 'Eat Well Plate' Materials
The CDRC has produced an A3-sized poster depicting a gluten-free 'Eat Well' plate model. It is the ideal size to have on the clinic consultation room wall for use with patients during their dietetic appointment. Smaller versions are also available for patients to take away with them. The materials have been reproduced with kind permission of the Food Standards Agency.
