Welcome to the Borders Weight Management Team

Our aim is to support you to lead a healthy lifestyle, lose weight and improve your health. We also offer education and support for those at risk of Type 2 Diabetes.

We offer a specialist assessment, lifestyle intervention programmes, and guidance to self-help resources or other community services.

You can refer yourself directly to us or speak to a health care professional. Our team will then work with you to identify which programme is best suited to your needs.

We are currently offering programmes both virtually and face-to-face. Interpreters are also available if needed.
