We know that starting down a new route of support can feel challenging when living with a chronic illness. The new and unfamiliar can feel daunting as well as exciting, but knowing a little about the road that lies ahead can help channel this uncertainty into hope.

That’s why in this video, Juliana Bernardes from our nutrition team shares what to expect from your first nutritional consultation. Juliana discusses what happens before, during, and after your initial consultation and session, so that you can have a good understanding of the process involved and the nutritional team’s foundation for building your own personalised road-map to recovery. You’ll discover how and where the consultation takes place, what you need to do ahead of the session, what happens after the first session and how it is personalised to the individual, and how the sessions exist alongside GP services and NHS support.
