Dietetics: New ways of working in Primary Care
Professor Mary Hickson, Dr Avril Collinson and Dr Jenny Child have been exploring new ways of working to manage malnutrition and frailty and childhood allergy in GP surgeries.

They are planning a larger study to explore the cost benefits of these models.
