A Delphi consensus study to determine the workload components and activity standards of dietitians in South Africa's central and tertiary public hospitals.

The Delphi technique was a suitable method for reaching agreement on workload components and activity standards for dietitians at South African central and tertiary public hospitals. The findings from this study can now be used to compile a standardized list of workload components and activity standards and ultimately to determine dietetic staffing needs for the central and tertiary public hospital level of care.
