Andriana Petrova Dietitian
My goal
I aim to help people living with various illnesses to take control of their health and live a full and long life. Something that is a regular practice in Great Britain and around the world, but not in Bulgaria. Through my experience as a Dietitian for the British National Health System, I have years of experience working with people with a variety of needs and know the benefits good nutrition can have on health and a fulfilling life. As a registered dietitian, my practice is regulated by law and I am guided by a code of ethics ensuring that I always work to the highest standards and that the client's health is always my priority.

My passion for nutrition began years ago when I developed Type 1 Diabetes as a teenager. In 2018 I completed an MSc in Nutrition and Dietetics from the University of Nottingham and started my career as a dietitian in Birmingham. In 2019, I moved to London and began to specialize in working with people living with cancer. My experience and training includes numerous courses in enteral and parenteral nutrition through the British Dietetic Association as well as postgraduate modules including non-medical prescribing.
I am currently practicing in Central London. I deal with patients with oncological diseases and patients preparing for or recovering from surgeries. I have numerous publications in nutritional journals and scientific journals. I teach as a visiting lecturer in dietetics at the University of Nottingham as well as in the prestigious Masters course: "Clinical Update in Enteral and Parenteral Nutrition", organized by the British Dietetic Association and Queen Margaret University.
I am a member of the British Dietetic Association and I am part of the committee of the Oncology Group "BDA Prehabilitation Subgroup".
