As part of taking informed consent for any intervention we are ethically obliged to provide people with information including the likelihood of success, any risks pertaining to the treatment we suggest, data on failure rates, and information on what options exist for alternative treatments.

While dietetic colleagues internationally are familiar with weight-inclusive/health-gain/HAES and risks of dieting etc, these topics are not routinely taught in UK curricula and are absent in the current version of the BDA Manual of Dietetic Practice, creating a gap in our knowledge.

This session addresses the gap providing information for each of the steps in taking informed consent when recommending dieting.
