New Weight Management Programme (LIMITLESS)
NHS Lothian has received funding to develop a new weight management programme called LIMITLESS. This will help more people get the right support for their health. It will include support from healthcare professionals, specialist services and a new digital service that will be developed over the next three years. The aim is to support more people to improve their health through effective weight management, helping to reduce the risk of long-term conditions such as type 2 diabetes and high blood pressure. Please keep checking our website for updates on these developments.

We provide a specialist service which supports you to lead a healthy lifestyle, to manage weight and improve your health.
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.
The service will be happy to make required adjustments for people who cannot access the digital programme due to disability or other reasons preventing digital access
Please note that waiting times are higher than usual and we are working hard to try to address this.
