Hi, I'm Alka Pandey a Specialist Dietitian within the NHS and a private consultant.

I combine best of both worlds as I bring in, over 11 years’ experience in the NHS alongside experience from my South Asian background. Over the years I have worked with different specialities like medicine for the elderly, oncology, weight management (both weight loss and weight gain), respiratory diseases. Currently I am working as a Diabetes (Type 1, Type 2, Gestational Diabetes) and Critical Care Specialist Dietitian.

My ability to understand and speak fluent Hindi, Gujarati, Marathi, and Punjabi, helps me understand my patients better and connect at a level where they can comfortably engage with me and help me support them. My friends and patients call me a good listener and a problem solver.

My special interests are taking the proactive approach to prevent Diabetes going from prediabetes to Type 2 Diabetes stage and bringing Type 2 diabetes into remission.

I have been a recipient of NHS Parliamentary awards in 2019; have written an article in a leading Dietetic magazine. Done a UK TV show and online radio show in 2023 covering varied topics e.g. Healthy eating, Weight Management, Diabetes etc.
