In this invited guest editorial, Dr Robyn Littlewood emphasised the importance of embedding an equity lens into dietetics practice and to advocate for systems that scale services proportionally according to need, ensuring no one is left behind. This approach goes further than traditional tailored care, offering comprehensive and systemic support for each person. While we may not directly control the broader systems and conditions surrounding our patients, we can recognise and work to address systemic barriers that are restricting preventative and quality health care.
