This is the name of the Weight Management programme run at Wigton Hospital.
The Chance to Change is a behavioural change weight management programme.
The service is available for our patients.
If you would like help with losing weight in the New Year (or any other time!) please contact the surgery and ask for a referral to this local service. We will need up to date height and weight values to calculate your BMI.
Patients need to meet the following criteria:
• BMI ≥30
• Not pregnant
• Adults (≥18 years)
• Stable diabetes or cardiac condition (if diagnosis present)
• Motivated to change
• Be registered with a GP within the Keswick and Solway ICC
These sessions are seeing patients face to face for weight management support, although numbers attending the group are limited due to managing COVID restrictions.
There may be a wait of a few weeks before your first appointment.
