How to start the programme
To start your journey to a healthier lifestyle, speak to your GP or a local pharmacist who can refer you to the programme.
Who can be referred to the programme?
- You must be 18 or over.
- You must have a BMI greater than 30. The BMI threshold will be lowered to 27.5 for people from black, Asian, and ethnic minority backgrounds, as we know people from these ethnic backgrounds are at an increased risk of conditions such as Type 2 diabetes at a lower BMI.

- You must have a smartphone, tablet or computer with internet access.
Speak to your GP practice or local pharmacist today to find out how the programme could benefit you.
