Self-referral into Adult Weight Management, now open.

Fitter Futures Warwickshire supports adults who meet a certain criteria to achieve a healthier lifestyle. As part of the current enhanced Adult Weight Management programme, for a limited time only, Warwickshire residents can now self-refer into Fitter Futures.

Weight Management – Self-Referral

As part of the AWM programme, users will receive 12-weeks free of tailored nutritional support from Everyone Health and Slimming World.

Your support to help raise awareness of the new self-referral option into Fitter Futures will help us to reach the people who can benefit from this service. The 12-week weight management service is for those who need additional support and guidance with leading a healthier lifestyle. The eligibility criteria for the self-referral pathway are: 

  • Body Mass Index of 30+ 
  • Body Mass Index of 28+ with additional concerns 
  • Body Mass Index of 27.5+ when adjusted for ethnicity 

We know that living with obesity reduces life expectancy and increases the chance of serious diseases such as cardiovascular disease, type 2 diabetes, and some cancers. COVID-19 has shone a light on health inequalities, and WCC are hoping this short-term funding will help support Warwickshire residents to lead a healthier lifestyle and contribute towards tackling health inequalities.
