Help Shape a New Community-based Weight Management Service

Introduction

The NHS is designing a new specialist weight management service for Lincolnshire. They are working with local communities, healthcare professionals and people with lived experience to develop a service that meets the needs of local people.

The service will provide personalised support to help people manage their weight and improve their health and wellbeing. This may include support with healthy eating, physical activity, mental wellbeing, access to healthcare professionals such as GPs, dietitians and mental health specialists, and a digital app. 

They want to ensure this service is shaped by the people who will use it. That is why they are inviting residents across Lincolnshire to share their experiences and help them design how the service looks, feels and works.

To ensure the service is inclusive and reflects a wide range of experiences, they are particularly keen to hear from people who:

  • Are living with a severe mental illness (SMI)
  • Have high blood pressure (hypertension)
  • Live in rural or coastal communities where access to support may be more limited
  • Have completed a weight management programme through:
    • One You Lincolnshire
    • NHS Digital Weight Management Programme
    • NHS Diabetes Prevention Programme
    • NHS Type 2 Diabetes Path to Remission Programme

They would also like to hear from anyone who has completed 12 weeks or more of support through:

  • Slimming World
  • Weight Watchers
  • Second Nature
  • MoreLife
  • Oviva

However, they welcome interest from anyone with experience of weight management, either personally or through supporting a family member, friend or loved one.

How you can Help

They are offering a range of ways for people to take part, including:

  • Having a telephone conversation to share their views
  • Receiving project updates by email
  • Attending a focus group, either in person or online
  • Completing a survey
