We also offer education and support for those at risk of or living with type 2 diabetes.

Our multi-disciplinary team is made up of dietitians, dietetic support workers, a physiotherapist, exercise specialists, psychologists and our community leisure partners – all with expert skills in advancing nutrition, physical activity and behavioural changes.

 Our package of support includes specialist assessment, lifestyle intervention programmes, emotional wellbeing and signposting to self-help resources or other community services.

You can refer yourself directly to our service or speak to a health care professional. Our team will then work with you to identify which weight management or type 2 diabetes programme is best suited to your needs.

We are currently offering programmes virtually, with face-to-face options resuming as soon as it is safe to do so. Please note that waiting times are higher than usual as a result of COVID-19. Interpreters are also available if needed.
