Awareness of the nutritional requirements of inpatients has been sadly neglected for many years. Students in British medical schools are taught little about clinical nutrition and the role of the dietitian. Dietitians, on the other hand, spend four years learning the science of nutrition and dietetics. In most hospitals in Britain dietitians are responsible for giving advice on a wide range of therapeutic diets, and only a minority specialize in one particular aspect of nutrition and dietetics. Recent changes and developments in nutritional support have offered an exciting and interesting challenge to dietitians, who with their well established background in nutrition, can play an important part in the nutritional care team.
多年来，住院患者营养需求的意识一直被可悲地忽视了。英国医学院的学生很少学习临床营养和营养师的作用。另一方面，营养师要花四年时间学习营养与饮食学。在英国的大多数医院里，营养师负责就各种治疗性饮食提供建议，只有少数人专门从事营养与饮食学的某一特定方面。营养支持方面最近的变化和发展给营养师带来了令人兴奋和有趣的挑战，他们凭借在营养方面已确立的背景，能够在营养护理团队中发挥重要作用。
