Anyone can call themselves a nutritionist. Only a small number of professionals in Ireland and the UK can call themselves a Registered Dietitian. The difference matters when your brand, your campaign, or your audience is at stake.
A CORU Registered Dietitian is the only nutrition professional regulated at clinical level in Ireland. The qualification is a Master's degree in Clinical Nutrition and Dietetics. The registration is held to the same statutory standards as registered psychologists, occupational therapists, and physiotherapists.
What that means for your work:
- Clinical accuracy.
- Every claim, every recommendation, every piece of content is grounded in evidence. Nothing makes it into the public domain that wouldn't stand up in a clinical review.
- Regulatory awareness.
- Sinéad understands the regulatory environment around health and nutrition claims, particularly for products, services, and campaigns that interact with public health.
- Brand safety.
- Working with a registered professional means your project is protected from the kind of reputational risk that comes with unregulated nutrition advice.
- Credibility with your audience.
- The dietitian title carries weight, particularly with the audiences who care most about getting nutrition right. It signals seriousness.
