We are pleased to advise that Izzy our GP Assistant has completed her Healthy Weight Coach training programme and now has the skills to support patients manage their weight.
A healthy weight coach will engage and support patients living with overweight or obesity to help you make positive changes to your health and health behaviours to promote a healthier weight. Izzy will be well-placed to signpost or, where appropriate, refer you to weight management services where required.
Supporting patients to move towards a healthier weight can have important benefits to the health and wellbeing of the individual seeking support and reducing ill-health related to overweight and obesity.
If you would like support in weight management, please contact our Care Navigation team and request an appointment with Izzy.
