This service is for adults who work/live/study in Tower Hamlets or registered with a local GP. You must have a body mass index (BMI) of 30 or more or have a BMI of 27.5 if you are South Asian.
The programme provides a good chance of finding at least some routines that can be adopted long-term by giving participants a series of tasks throughout the course. Participants will work on their tasks with ‘buddies’ and report to the group on both successes and failures. Also, there is a gradually increasing exercise target, tailored to your needs and capacity.
Self-refer: telephone 020 7882 8230 or email [email protected]. GP referral: send the completed ‘Weight Action Programme Referral form’ on EMIS to [email protected].
