Following a cancer diagnosis I’m looking for support moving to a plant based diet. Would I be best looking at dieticians or nutritionist with oncology specifically? Thanks

I'd be careful, there is a lot of duff food advice around cancer. Dieticians are properly trained. Anyone can be a nutritionist. I see an NHS dietician at my chemo unit. You could try asking your team for a referral.

Agree with Twig. I'm a dietitian and worked in oncology. While there are many very good nutritionists, they are unregulated.
You may have to go privately to see a dietitian for advice regarding a plant based diet. Here is a link to the British Dietetic Association directory of freelance dietitians in the UK. It's a great place to start. Most private practice RDs do online consultations these days. BDA Freelance Dietitians
