Manuel Attard is a UK-trained registered dietitian and nutritionist who sees clients at a clinic in Victoria, the main town of Gozo, and also online. His practice covers weight management, clinical nutrition, sports nutrition and the Low FODMAP diet. You can reach him through the VisitMalta.co.uk enquiry form on this page.
Manuel Attard works as a registered dietitian and nutritionist from a clinic in Victoria, the capital of Gozo, the smaller and quieter sister island of Malta. His consultations are built around the individual: nothing is handed out as a standard diet sheet, and each plan takes account of your health background, your body's needs and the foods you actually enjoy.
He trained in the United Kingdom, which will feel familiar to British clients, and he also offers online sessions for anyone who cannot get to Gozo. On VisitMalta.co.uk he is listed in our directory of nutritionists in Malta, alongside other practitioners such as A New Better Life.
Qualifications and registration
Mr Attard holds a degree in biology and chemistry from the University of Malta, a degree in dietetics from London Metropolitan University and a master's in human nutrition, with a public health specialism, from the University of Glasgow. He also holds a Level 2 fitness instructor award from the YMCA in London. Across five years of training in Britain he worked in specialist hospitals, including Royal Brompton Hospital and Harefield Transplant Hospital.
In Malta he is registered with the Council for the Professions Complementary to Medicine as both a dietitian and a nutritionist. He is a registered dietitian at Gozo General Hospital and a visiting lecturer at the University of Malta and at the Barts and the London School of Medicine. Further short courses abroad covered clinical nutrition and metabolic care in Poland, renal nutrition therapy in Italy and parenteral nutrition in the United Kingdom. He is also the first Maltese practitioner to complete Monash University's Low FODMAP Diet training and appear in its international directory of trained dietitians.
Dietitian or nutritionist: what is the difference?
The distinction is worth knowing before you book. In Malta the title of dietitian is legally protected. A registered dietitian has a degree-level qualification in dietetics and has completed training placements in recognised hospitals, and is the professional who can prescribe diets for people with medical conditions as well as for healthy clients.
A nutritionist, by contrast, may not have completed a hospital placement and works with people who are well, with the aim of preventing illness. Mr Attard qualified first as a nutritionist and then spent four years specialising in dietetics in London, so he can work in both roles.
Services you can book
Four service lines make up the practice: weight management, clinical nutrition, sports nutrition and the Low FODMAP diet. Weight management covers plans for people who want to lose or control their weight. Sports nutrition looks at eating for performance, and suits recreational athletes as well as competitors.
Clinical nutrition is the broadest area. His experience ranges across diabetes, cholesterol, blood pressure, food allergies and intolerances, digestive and inflammatory conditions, kidney and liver disease, cancer care, respiratory conditions and artificial nutrition. The Low FODMAP diet is a structured approach often used for digestive symptoms, and Mr Attard has specialist training in it. This page describes what is offered and is not medical advice; your own consultation is where your circumstances are discussed.
Appointments are tailored rather than templated. The plan reflects your medical condition where there is one, your personal physiological requirements and your food preferences, so that it is realistic to follow at home or while travelling.
Visiting the clinic in Gozo
The clinic is at Garden View 1B, Triq l-Imblokk Tal-Francizi, in Victoria, also known as Rabat, right in the middle of Gozo. If you are staying on the island, our Gozo guide covers the ferry from Malta, the main sights and how to get around, and our guide to hotels in Gozo helps with where to base yourself. Travelling from the UK, start with flights to Malta and continue to Gozo by ferry.
Online consultations suit anyone who lives in Malta but away from Gozo, or who is planning a longer stay. If you are considering a permanent move, our Malta relocation guide and digital nomad guide explain the practicalities, and a local dietitian is a sensible contact to have once you settle. Visitors who want to eat well on a short break might also browse things to do in Malta and the best beaches in Malta for active days out.
