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

If you are interested in becoming a member of the overweight and obesity expert lived experience reference group, then please email: admin@allaboutobesity.org.
The the overweight and obesity expert lived experience reference group aims to:
- Develop a diverse group of people living with overweight or obesity to share their experiences in an expert patient reference group.
- Empower members of the group to have their voices heard through training and support.

We held the first of two workshops at the end of January, which brought together health professionals, representatives from six local authorities, and residents to improve weight management services and ensure people are better able to access the care they need.
