An update from Dietetics
Cromwell Hospital benefits from a wide breadth of dietetic expertise, and the Dietetics team is now seeking further opportunities to engage with and support consultant services.
The team wishes to build on its strong foundations of MDT work to support consultants in accomplishing world-class care and delivering healthy nutritional outcomes for patients. The team is keen to develop new dietetic services in line with key consultant-led services currently provided at the hospital.
This year, the team will be enhancing and developing several dietetic specialities – including Paediatrics, Gastroenterology, Colorectal, and HPB – so consultants can expect to see an increased dietetics presence within MDT meetings. The team also has a particular interest in pre-operative nutritional optimisation, and they hope to widen this provision within the coming months.
Throughout 2025, the team will continue to support both inpatients and outpatients in optimising their nutritional status and achieving their nutritional goals successfully.

Joint allergy and ENT clinic at London Medical
London Medical is now accepting patients at a new allergy clinic, led by Dr Florentina Dumitru, Consultant in Allergy, and Ms Romana Kuchai, Consultant ENT Surgeon.
The clinic, which is the first and only of its kind available privately in the UK, allows eligible patients who require complex treatment to receive input from specialists in both allergy and ENT.
This service is suitable for allergies of all types, including hay fever, food allergies, drug allergies, eczema, asthma, urticaria and angioedema, anaphylaxis, and more.
Patients who attend the clinic will be able to have a skin prick allergy test, find out their results, and receive a treatment plan, in just one visit. Occasionally patients may require additional investigations, such as blood tests, breathing tests, or nasal endoscopy, which can be organised on-site, often on the same day.
For patients with severe allergic rhinitis and conjunctivitis due to allergies, Dr Dumitru can offer immunotherapy or desensitisation with specific allergens.
If you are interested in referring patients to this service, please use our dedicated referral form (PDF, 236Kb).
