Accepted Answer

Question 2

Can I start small and then move to a fuller programme?

Accepted Answer

Question 3

What if I feel too tired or overwhelmed?

Accepted Answer

The pace and plan are tailored around your life and your health circumstances, not rigid.

Question 4

Do you work with medical teams / treatments?

Accepted Answer

Yes - my focus is on safe, evidence-based nutrition support alongside your care.

Question 5

Do I need a medical referral to see you?

Accepted Answer

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

Question 6

Can I use my private medical insurance to fund nutrition consultations?

Accepted Answer

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

Question 7

Can I purchase nutrition consultations for a friend / family member who's been recently diagnosed with cancer

Accepted Answer

That’s a lovely idea, and yes you can. While it’s always nice to receive a surprise gift, in this instance it is essential to approach your friend first to make sure that nutrition coaching is something they would like to engage with, and it’s the right time for them.

Question 8

What is your cancellation policy?

Accepted Answer

Appointments cancelled with more than 24 hours' notice will not be charged. Appointments cancelled with less than 24 hours' notice will be charged in full.
