Hi Boo. Glad you got your appointment through. To defend the NHS, and I rarely do that, the dieticians are extremely busy these days due to the number of obese children they have to deal with. I had go to and see one several times with Bon for the opposite reason and on two occasions she rang me and we did a consutlation over the phone as it was quicker than waiting for a face to face appointment. The one I saw in London was great and I really had no complaints. We also have community dieticians in our area who are more easily accessible and you can self-refer to them, maybe see if this is a viable alternative?
