Diatician

The Weight Loss Clinic is for people with obesity who want to lose weight by making dietary and lifestyle changes.

Being overweight is associated with many health problems.

There is no single way to lose weight that works for everyone. However, research has shown that people who make permanent changes to their eating habits and increase their physical activity are more successful at losing weight and maintaining it than people who use a ‘quick fix‘ solution.

The emphasis is on making dietary and behavioural changes which can be maintained in the long-term.

The team consists of a number of specialists, these are:

• Senior specialist dietitian -specialist in diet and nutrition
• Senior physiotherapist

• At your first appointment the doctor will carry out an initial assessment which will include discussion of the weight loss programme.

• The weight loss programme includes regular individual sessions with either the dietitian or doctor, or both. We also run a group programme for patients. We may also refer you to a physiotherapist for advice on exercise
