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 and face to face, from which you can choose, depending on your preference. Interpreters are also available if needed.

Please note that waiting times are higher than usual and we are working hard to try to address this.
