FREQUENTLY ASKED  QUESTIONS 

 DO I NEED A MEDICAL REFERRAL TO COME AND SEE YOU? 

No, you don’t. However, it is helpful to provide me with as much information as you can prior to the appointment so that we can make the best use of our time together. If you are able to forward your most recent clinic letter (from your oncologist) and or any recent blood test results, that would be fabulous.

 I HAVE PRIVATE MEDICAL INSURANCE. CAN I USE IT TO FUND MY DIETETIC    CONSULTATIONS? 

Most private medical insurance policies typically cover 2-3 dietetic consultations. Please contact your insurer to check whether Meredy is registered with them, and ascertain what your specific policy covers. You will be asked to provide an authorisation code prior to booking your first nutrition consultation. 

 MY MUM ISN'T FEELING WELL ENOUGH TO COME TO CLINIC, BUT I'D REALLY    APPRECIATE YOUR ADVICE ON HOW TO KEEP HER WELL NOURISHED. CAN I    COME INSTEAD? 

Yes, but your mum will need to provide written or verbal consent first. How about a video call or telephone consultation - your mum can join the conversation and we can make sure that her questions are answered.
