The covid-19 pandemic has brought along with it great uncertainty in a myriad of aspects in our lives. Contrary to this it has also forced many industries to be more creative in terms of their service offerings by using tools that has been readily available to us for quite some time.

The HPCSA amended their clause with regards to telemedicine and made it possible for health practitioners to see their patients over a virtual interface. What an exciting prospect this could be.

Dietitians are part of front line staff helping to treat critically ill patients affected by covid-19. Ventilated patients are unable to eat orally and for this reason other feeding routes need to be explored by a highly specialized dietitian. Even those hospitalized patients that can tolerate oral feeds are in need of a dietitian so that their nutritional requirements can be met in preparation for discharge.

Covid-19 is a global pandemic with significant consequences. All of us have a responsibility towards each other as well as towards our medical staff that are working around the clock to keep us safe. Stay home, stay informed and stay healthy.

"oh, so you are going to make me skinny?"

I am sure that I speak for many dietitians when I say that we face this question almost on a daily basis. Even though we most definitely can assist with "making you skinny" the healthy and sustainable way, we are so much more than that.

We are involved in a closeknit team with physicians, physios, occupational therapists, nurses and speech therapists to achieve the best outcome for our patients. Optimal nutrition is our goal in our hospital patients, sport enthusiasts, pregnant and pediatric patients as well as in private practice and to our corporate clients. We assess, treat, raise awareness and educate. We love to do healthy with you in a whole spectrum of wellness and not so wellness.

We are qualified to treat so much more that just "making you skinny".
