Description
Elizabeth Roberts, Mala Watts, Safiya Riley, and Kathryn Hart surveyed dietetic staffing for eating disorder care in the community in a 2024 paper. Food rebuilding is central to most therapies for anorexia and bulimia, and dietitians are trained for exactly that work. Yet their role on treatment teams is often sidelined.
The authors cite surveys showing specialists endorse dietitian input far less than patients and carers do. In one, barely half of specialists backed a dietitian assessment for every patient, against near-unanimous support from families. General clinicians also showed thin nutrition knowledge next to dietitians. The scoping survey behind the paper maps how dietetic hours are actually spread in community services, and asks what keeps the role marginal.
