# Dietitians & Nutritionists in Singapore

In Singapore, 'dietitian' and 'nutritionist' are not titles regulated by a statutory board; neither is among the AHPC-regulated professions. The Singapore Nutrition and Dietetics Association runs voluntary accreditation for dietitians and nutritionists, so ask whether a practitioner is SNDA-accredited. For medical conditions such as diabetes or kidney disease, a dietitian is usually the right choice.

## How to choose
- Ask whether the practitioner is SNDA-accredited and what their degree is in.
- For diabetes, kidney disease, eating disorders or tube feeding, choose a dietitian working with your doctor.
- Be cautious of plans built around supplements the practitioner also sells.
- Ask how progress will be measured, such as blood tests, weight or symptoms, and how often you'll review.

## FAQs
### What is the difference between a dietitian and a nutritionist in Singapore?
Dietitians are generally trained to give medical nutrition therapy for conditions such as diabetes or kidney disease, often in hospitals. Nutritionists usually focus on general healthy eating and public health. Neither title is regulated by a statutory board in Singapore, so check for SNDA accreditation and ask about qualifications.

### Are nutritionists regulated in Singapore?
Not by law. The Allied Health Professions Council regulates only physiotherapy, occupational therapy, speech-language therapy, diagnostic radiography and radiation therapy. The Singapore Nutrition and Dietetics Association offers voluntary accreditation for dietitians and nutritionists.

### Do I need a referral to see a dietitian?
Not for a private practice. For subsidised dietetic care at public hospitals or polyclinics, ask your doctor or polyclinic about a referral, which also lets the dietitian see your medical history and test results.
