Clare Thornton-Wood: BDA-Registered Freelance Dietitian, Guildford, UK

I am an experienced Registered Dietitian (RD) with a specialist interest in paediatric nutrition. Contact me for a free initial discussion, to see how I might help you or visit my website for further details of my practice. I hold clinics in a number of locations; beautiful clinic rooms in Central Guildford, rural West Sussex And can also offer home visits or consultations via Skype. Alongside my private practice, I work at Great Ormond Street Hospital as a paediatric dietitian, having previously worked locally for the NHS in multidisciplinary allergy and diabetes clinics, and also at a boarding school for children with severe epilepsy and autism. I graduated from the University of Surrey with a BSc in Nutrition and Dietetics. After a period in adult dietetics I have undertaken additional training in paediatrics, taking two MSc Modules in Paediatric Dietetics at the University of Plymouth. I have undertaken additional training in a number of areas, including autistic spectrum disorder/ADHD, allergy, neurodisability, coeliac disease, diabetes, eating disorders and weight management. Clinical practice is constantly evolving and I regularly attend study days, meetings and conferences to keep my practice up to date. I am a regular contributor to articles in the press and online in my role as a BDA media spokesperson.  I appear regularly on the radio and TV (BBC News, Channel 4 and 5). I have also written for a number of trade publications, undertaken recipe analysis and worked with companies to develop new recipes. When not working, I am a wife, mother of three children and a keen musician, performing in a number of local orchestras and choirs. I also love to cycle and of course cook, invent and adapt recipes and eat!
