Independent Allied Health Practitioners

Dr Alan Barclay - Dietician

Available fortnightly on Fridays afternoons.

My first job as a dietitian was doing locum work (e.g., Royal Perth Hospital; Armadale Hospital) and working part-time in a fitness centre in Perth helping people to get into shape. Later, I moved to regional New South Wales for my first full-time job, working in a general hospital (Wellington), a rehabilitation hospital (Lourdes Hospital) and community health.

My next job was at Royal Prince Alfred Hospital where I initially worked for the Allergy Unit before expanding in to the Obesity and Metabolism Unit via the Bodyline clinic. I then moved across the road to Diabetes Australia (NSW) where I remained until mid-2014, before becoming a consultant. Along the way, I helped establish the Glycemic Index Foundation, which was a not-for-profit spin-off company established between Diabetes Australia, the University of Sydney, and the Juvenile Diabetes Research Foundation (Australia).
