For some people taking the trip to the dietitian's office is not practical, especially for people who don't have the luxury of having a dietitian in their local suburbs; or perhaps the only time you have for a consultation is when your baby is sleeping!
Newtown Nutrition is reaching out to help make consultations easier and more accessible by providing Skype consultations. With Skype consultations you get to have a face-to-face consultation (via webcam) with your dietitian from the convenience of your loungeroom.
Your dietitian will conduct a consultation just the same as if you were sitting in her office, even if you are hundreds of miles away. Using Skype with a webcam enables you to see your dietitian through the consult, which makes communication far superior than talking on the phone or via email (especially for those of us who talk with our hands!). If she needs to describe things to you in pictures or diagrams she also can use PowerPoint slides projected directly onto your screen.
You can also share any necessary documents (eg food diary or menuplan) via email.
What is Skype?
Skype is a software application that enables users to chat over the internet for free. If you have a webcam you can share a video conversation with another user. You can download the Skype software for free. For more information about Skype check out the Skype website.
