Set SMART goals, record baseline metrics (weight, body composition, blood tests where available), and monitor progress. You will also update plans and log notes in the clinic record system.

Education & Content Creation:

Run client education sessions, group workshops, and occasional cooking demos that reflect local HPB guidance. You will also contribute to clinic content, including blogs, short videos, and social media posts, that provide evidence-based, locally relevant advice.

Professionalism:

Maintain accurate clinical notes, consent forms, data privacy, and professional boundaries. Attend regular case reviews and Continuing Professional Education (CPE) sessions.
