What I'm looking for

I'm looking for a UK dietetic role where I can provide evidence-based bariatric and weight-management care, collaborate in a multidisciplinary team, and continue developing my clinical practice.

I've delivered pre- and post-operative nutrition care for more than 300 bariatric surgery patients at Ceyhun Aydoğan Obesity & Metabolic Surgery Clinic in Istanbul. I interpret biochemical results, develop supplementation and meal plans in line with BOMSS guidance, and support sustainable long-term lifestyle change.

Previously, I independently managed the full dietetic service at Aslife Healthy Living Center, providing one-to-one and group counselling, personalised nutrition plans, workshops, and evidence-based public health content. My clinical placements at institutions including Koç University Hospital and Florence Nightingale Hospitals gave me exposure to enteral and parenteral nutrition, oncology nutrition, ward rounds, and multidisciplinary care.

I'm HCPC registered, a member of the BDA Obesity Specialist Group, and currently relocating from Istanbul to the UK.
