Adult Weight Management

Non-urgent advice: Adult Weight Management

This page brings together a range of adult weight‑management options available across our PCN, helping you understand what support is on offer and how to access it.

We’ve grouped everything in one place so you can easily see which services you can self‑refer to—such as digital weight‑management tools, healthy lifestyle apps, local activity programmes, and community groups like Weight Watchers and Slimming World—and which options may require a GP referral, such as more structured or clinically supported programmes. 

You’ll also find practical resources, making it simpler to choose the right support based on your goals and eligibility.
