Miss Hasina Aktar

I am a trained and qualified Dietitian with 12 years experience having trained at Kings College London where I gained a BSc Honours in Nutrition and Dietetics with a State Registration (HCPC registered) following my successful training at the Barts Health NHS Trust.

I provide tailored dietetic advice for various conditions such as oncology, colorectal, gastroenterology, allergy patients and nutritional deficiencies. I have vast experience in Dietetics, having covered many specialties throughout my career thus able to provide expert and tailored nutritional counselling to meet your specific dietary needs.

I provide dietetic advice for various conditions such as oncology and colorectal surgical patients, requiring nutrition support in the form of oral, enteral or parental nutrition. I regularly reviews renal and cardiac patients and advises on renal diets such as low potassium or low phosphate diets and heart health - primary and secondary prevention as well as diabetes and weight management counselling.

I also offer dietary advice for gastroenterology patients including diverticulitis (high fibre diets), low fibre diet or exclusive Modulen diets for Crohns patients and Low FodMaps diet for IBS patients. I will regularly see Coeliac patients to advise on gluten free diets.

I will see patients who may suffer from nutritional deficiencies such as low iron, B12 and Vitamin D. I will often be requested to review patients who have allergies and intolerances such as dairy, egg or soya free diets.

I have also been actively involved in the community taking part in regular Healthy Lifestyle Shows as part of primary preventative measures advising the public on how to achieve a healthy lifestyle through healthy eating education. I have also completed a successful pilot project working for Nutrition and Wellbeing Ltd Company on Healthy Eating for Secondary Schools, as part of her private practice.

I have significant experience in working in ITU - assessing patients who require enteral and parenteral nutrition support. I maintain effective relationships with the Consultants, Nurses, Physiotherapists and Speech Therapists and work well in a multidisciplinary team (MDT). I have continued to review and assess patients including international patients. I am bilingual which has been particularly useful with international patients.

I maintain and continue to update my knowledge and expertise (CPD) in dietetics through regular workshops, attendance in study days and courses to ensure my services are always of BDA standards.
