About
Alastair is a UK registered dietitian combining clinical, teaching, leadership and research roles at King’s College London and at Guy’s & St Thomas’ Hospital. He graduated in Biological Sciences in the 1980s and worked in research and public service science roles before embarking on a second career as a chef. In the 1990s he completed an MSc in Nutrition prior to being awarded a postgraduate diploma in Dietetics and joining the NHS, where he has now worked for over 25 years. He has been involved with clinical research for much of this time, and in 2013 was awarded a Clinical Doctoral Research Fellowship from the NIHR to investigate why type 2 diabetes has become so prevalent in people living with HIV. He now leads a large multidisciplinary team in South East London, delivering lifestyle interventions aiming to address the health challenges of people living with a heavier weight. The majority of his participants are of Black heritage, and we continue to develop programmes tailored to their needs.
