    Digital weight management NHS programme

    Digital Weight Management Programme

    The Digital Weight Management Programme by the NHS provides colleagues that are living with obesity with the support needed to stay healthy and active.

    Colleagues who join will enjoy a free 12-week weight management programme, designed to offer personally tailored support to participants who want to work towards a healthier lifestyle.

    Any NHS colleague is eligible to participate in the programme, but you must be over 18 and have a BMI of over 30. For those from Black, Asian and Minority Ethnic groups, the required BMI score is lowered to 27.5 due to increased risk of Type 2 diabetes. You can calculate your BMI here.
