The on-demand nature of the Programme has enabled Service Users to access content at a time and place convenient to them, and revisit topics to refresh their knowledge. The programme is generating an evidence base for remote weight management services which are more likely to be accessed by younger (working age) people whilst maintaining comparable results to face-to-face weight management services.<br/>The programme has been designed to offer service users a personalised level of intervention to support them manage their weight, improve quality of life and improve longer term health outcomes. It works alongside and does not replace existing weight management services funded by local authorities.<br/><br/>With three levels of support and a choice of providers, it is designed to offer service users a personalised level of support to help them manage their weight and improve longer term health outcomes.<br/><br/>This Lot is for Access to digital content only.
