Have your say on a new holistic healthy lifestyle service for children and young people

This is a gentle reminder that NHS Nottingham and Nottinghamshire Clinical Commissioning Group (CCG) would like your help to inform the creation of a new holistic, healthy lifestyle service for children and young people who are significantly above a healthy weight without having other health issues. This service will provide support for those in Nottingham City and Nottinghamshire County (not including Bassetlaw).

 

We would like to hear from children and young people up to the age of 18, their parents and carers and frontline professionals with experience of weight management services.

 

The information will also be used by the hospital (Nottingham University Hospitals) as they prepare to become a regional hub for children for the treatment of complications related to excess weight (CREW).
