This form provides important information about the nutrition services offered by Altus Clinic Limited (trading as “Fin the Dietitian”) and seeks your informed consent to participate in consultations and related programs. Please read it carefully and sign to confirm your agreement.

 Nature and Purpose of Services

You agree that Fin the Dietitian provides evidence-based nutrition consultations, meal planning guidance and lifestyle recommendations tailored to individual needs. These services aim to support health and well-being through dietary interventions. However, they are not a substitute for medical treatment provided by a licensed physician or other healthcare professionals.

 As a licensed and regulated health professional in Ireland and the United Kingdom, Fin the Dietitian is qualified to assess, diagnose treat and manage dietary and nutritional conditions and provide tailored interventions based on scientific evidence. However, dietary services do not replace medical treatment provided by a licensed physician or specialist healthcare providers. If you have medical concerns outside of diet and nutrition, you should consult your doctor or relevant medical professional.

Scope of Practice and Limitations

 Clients Outside of Ireland

Regulations regarding dietitians vary by country. While dietitians in Ireland and the United Kingdom can diagnose, treat and manage nutrition-related health conditions, clients from other jurisdictions should verify local laws. Our services are provided in accordance with Irish law, and we do not guarantee that our recommendations align with regulatory requirements in other countries.
