Help us improve the adult weight management pathway in South East London
The lived experience voice is so important when designing a healthcare pathway. No one truly knows what it is like to walk in the shoes of someone living with overweight and obesity, so it is so important that this is shared.
Background
King’s Health Partners and South East London Integrated Care System have partnered with All About Obesity to help us facilitate and ensure the lived experience voice of those living with obesity is heard and plays a part in shaping the redesign of the adult weight management pathways in South East London.
All About Obesity is a not for profit organisation, that helps ensure the patient voice is heard across multiple platforms. We Educate, Inform, Support & Advocate Obesity in UK | All About Obesity
