Self-referral into Warwickshire Adult Weight Management – Now Open!
Fitter Futures Warwickshire supports adults who meet a certain criterion to achieve a healthier lifestyle. As part of the current enhanced Adult Weight Management programme, for a limited time only, Warwickshire residents can now self refer into this service using the Adult Weight Management Self-Referral form.
As part of the AWM programme, users will receive 12-weeks free of tailored nutritional support from Everyone Health and Slimming World.
Your support to help raise awareness of the new self-referral option into Fitter Futures will help us to reach the people who can benefit from this service. The 12-week weight management service is for those who need additional support and guidance with leading a healthier lifestyle. The eligibility criteria for the self-referral pathway is:
- Body Mass Index of 30+
- Body Mass Index of 28+ with additional concerns
- Body Mass Index of 27.5+ when adjusted for ethnicity
We know that living with obesity reduces life expectancy and increases the chance of serious diseases such as cardiovascular disease, type 2 diabetes and some cancers. COVID-19 has shone a light on health inequalities, and WCC are hoping this short-term funding will help support Warwickshire residents to lead a healthier lifestyle and contribute towards tackling health inequalities.
