NHS Digital Weight Management Programme
If you are living with obesity and also have diabetes, high blood pressure, or both, the NHS Digital Weight Management Programme may be beneficial for you.
This FREE12-week programme is easily accessible through a smartphone, tablet, or computer, making it convenient to take part in.
Eligibility for the Programme
Who can participate?
- You must be 18 years or older.
- Your BMI should be greater than 30. However, for individuals from Black, Asian, and ethnic minority backgrounds, the BMI threshold is lowered to 27.5, as these groups are at a higher risk for conditions like Type 2 diabetes at a lower BMI.
- You need to have diabetes, high blood pressure, or both.
- Access to a smartphone, tablet, or computer with internet connectivity is required.
For more information on how the programme can benefit you, please consult your GP practice or local pharmacist.
What if I am not eligible
If you do not have diabetes or high blood pressure, you may still benefit from the NHS Better Health programme.
Whether you want to lose weight, drink less alcohol, get active or quit smoking, you have access to lots of free tools and support through Better Health. You can also find simple ways to lift your mood with Every Mind Matters.
