    Paediatric Dietetics – Neurology

    Paediatric Dietetics - Neurology

    We provide an inpatient dietetic service for children requiring input for acute neurology, neurosurgery, neuromuscular and neuro-rehabilitation.

    This service extends to patients with a wide range of neurological conditions including:

    • Epilepsy
    • Neuro-oncology
    • Stroke
    • Congenital neurological disorders (for example Spinal Muscular Atrophy & Muscular Dystrophy)
    • Cerebral palsy
    • Neurological impairment following major trauma

    Many children may experience difficulties with eating and drinking as a result of their neurological condition.

    We aim to optimise their nutritional status through healthy eating, oral nutritional support and sometimes artificial nutrition (for example via a specialised feeding tube).
