Terms and Conditions

Terms and Conditions

This outlines the framework for our services at Nishti’s Choice. Your dietitian will go through it with you in the first session of your work together.

You will discuss and agree what support you want from your dietitian in your first session and review the progress and focus of your work together as you go along. 

Payments can be made by bank transfer, a credit card or debit card. You shall be invoiced for payment before the consultation, and this should be paid to confirm the appointment.

You are required to pay for sessions, which are missed or cancelled, with less than 48 hours’ notice. It is important that you attend sessions regularly. However, if you do need to cancel an appointment, please let your dietitian or our admin team know with at least 48 hours’ notice. You can do this by emailing info@nishtischoice.com

It is confidential that you are a client of Nishti’s Choice, as well as what you discuss in your sessions. There are, however, some limits and exceptions to confidentiality. 

If your dietitian has serious concerns about your safety or the safety of another person normal confidentiality may be lifted. You will be asked to provide your GP’s contact details, as someone they may contact. Your dietitian keeps a record of your name, contact details and dates and times of appointments on a password-protected database. Your dietitian is required to keep brief notes about the focus of your work. These are kept securely and are password protected. Any reports produced by your dietitian to evaluate the service contain anonymised data and will not contain any identifying information. 

 

 

Problems & Complaints
