Support for adults over the age of 18 who want to lose weight and have been identified as obese


This useful resource is on Hantsweb (Hampshire County Council's Social Care & Health website).

You can signpost patients and/or members of the pharmacy team to here, as it takes you through step by step on the following important issues: providing advice, guidance and what support is available

  1. Find out your BMI
  2. What to do if you are:
    • BMI over 30
    • BMI over 28
    • BMI over 25
    • Pregnant
  3. Links to other useful resources - NHS Livewell, One You

This will be most helpful for discussing and demonstrating with people:

  • identified as potential having type 2 pre-diabetes
  • identified as having type 2 diabetes

It is therefore a particularly useful resource for all community pharmacies completing their NHS England - South (Wessex) Diabetes Focus Pharmacy Framework.
