FOR HEALTHCARE PROFESSIONALS
Written for our own dieticians, physicians and nursing staff, and published openly because a colleague in another clinic needs the same thing and there is no reason to keep it behind a door.
These pages are clinical education for healthcare professionals. They assume clinical training, they are not patient handouts, and they are not advice about any medicine. If you are a patient, bring anything here to your own doctor rather than acting on it. For dietetic counselling at Caspian, see the Nutrition and Dietetics department.
