Maintaining a healthy weight or losing some weight has real health benefits. Losing just 5kg (11 lbs) could lower your blood pressure and cholesterol levels and may improve your mobility and reduce aches and pains! You can find out more about our services to help you manage your weight below.
NHSGGC Weight Management Services support individuals with existing health conditions that could be improved by losing weight. If you have Diabetes, Heart Disease or have previously had a Stroke and are overweight then you can self-refer to the service.
The Community Weight Management Service is delivered in partnership with Weight Watchers and Slimming World to help you lose weight. If eligible for the service you’ll receive a free 12 week membership providing access to a blend of in-person and online support.
The Specialist Weight Management Service is delivered by a team of psychologists, physiotherapists and dietitians. Psychological approaches and physical activity guidance is provided, alongside dietary advice, tailored to your needs. This approach will help you to identify ways to overcome barriers to weight loss and maintenance. Patients referred to SWMS will undergo an initial assessment to allow us to direct you towards the best treatment plan for you.
