The upper GI Dietetic team is part of a wider Dietetic Department consisting of Dietitian’s and Assistants, including Specialists in Nephrology, Diabetes, Nutrition Support, Gastroenterology and Haematology.

The department has a well-established Practice Supervision programme for new graduates and is also committed to training other Health Care Professionals and Student Dietitians

It serves a core population of around 630,000 people across Merseyside as well as providing a range of highly specialist services to a catchment area of more than two million people in the North West region and beyond.
