The aim of my project was to use digital solutions to capture data to inform workforce planning in remote and rural dietetics within a small team. Working closely with the team and our local information department, we changed outpatient appointments from general to clinical condition specific clinics to provide information on the demand for particular services distribution of, referrals and appointments. This has allowed us to use this data to assess the local population need for dietetic support and inform ongoing workforce planning. Clinicians now feel they have a good understanding local patient needs.
