About Oliver
Oliver John Goodchild, BSc (Hons), RD, MBDA
HCPC-registered dietitian, founder of The Goodchild Dietitian Clinic
Why I do this
My nan had dementia. I watched how hard eating became for her, and for the family around her: meals left half-eaten, her appetite fading, and worry about every pound she lost.
It taught me that for older adults, nutrition isn't about strict rules. It's about making every mouthful count, with small, practical changes that fit real life at home.
My experience
I work in the NHS with people facing stroke, critical illness, malnutrition and complex feeding decisions, including tube feeding. I bring that clinical experience to every consultation, along with practical, food-first advice that families can actually use.
Who I help
Older adults who are losing weight or eating less
People living with dementia, and their families
Stroke recovery and secondary prevention
Malnutrition and frailty
Other conditions, including weight management, IBS and pancreatic exocrine insufficiency (PEI)
How it works
Appointments are by video or phone, UK-wide, with evening and some weekend slots. A limited number of home visits are also available in Kent, and an extra fee may apply. You'll get a full assessment, a personalised plan and written resources.
