Referrals to dietitians/nutritionists: A cross ‐sectional analysis of Australian GP registrars’ clinical practice

ConclusionsEstablished patients with chronic disease and complex care needs are more likely than other patients to be referred by registrars to dietitians/nutritionists. Nutrition behaviours are a major risk factor in chronic disease, and we have found evidence for dietitian/nutritionist referrals representing one facet of engagement by registrars with patients’ complex care needs.
