BHR – Weight management services (updated Barking and Dagenham infographic)
Weight management services can help people to adopt healthier behaviours, lose weight and improve their general well-being. The London Boroughs of Redbridge, Barking & Dagenham and Havering have developed these infographics to demonstrate what universal services and what Tier 1 and Tier 2 weight management services are available to our residents. We would like this tool to encourage clinicians to have conversations about weight with their patients and enable them to refer patients to existing services. The infographic also directs clinicians to the national programmes that are available to those with Diabetes and hypertension. This tool can be used to direct patients to the most appropriate service for their individual physical activity and weight management needs. The infographic includes information on:
- Local Sports & Leisure Facilities – Tier 1
- Commissioned Weight Management Services – Tier 2
- National Programmes for Patients with Type 2 Diabetes or hypertension
- Online Resources and Apps
- Local Fitness Opportunities – borough specific
- Discounted Gym Memberships – borough specific
