Health Weight Service Course Information 

The Healthy Weight Service

The service focuses on healthy lifestyle advice. We offer an effective, safe approach for patients/clients to change behaviour by incorporate healthy eating, exercise and cooking skills into their life.

Patients have an initial assessment to ensure they receive the most appropriate service. Support comes in the form of an 8 weeks healthy weight group, a 4 week one to one or attendance at the weekly drop-in clinic(appointment not necessary). Patients are followed up for 12 months and offered weekly support before and after their selected programme at the drop-in.

This service is suitable for overweight and obese adults (16+) in Warrington. Referrals to this service can be made by your GP or as a self referral by contacting the team or attending the Drop-in Clinic.
