All About Obesity launches campaign to advocate for better access to specialist weight management services in the UK

All About Obesity, a leading organisation dedicated to raising awareness and providing support for individuals affected by obesity, has announced the launch of a campaign aimed at addressing the challenges faced by those struggling to access specialist weight management services and treatments.

This initiative coincides with this week's World Obesity Day 2024, highlighting the urgency of the issue and the need for collective action.

Despite the growing prevalence of obesity worldwide, many individuals find themselves lacking access to comprehensive and effective weight management support.

Specialist services such as psychological support, dietary guidance, and medical interventions are essential for managing obesity and reducing associated health risks. However, barriers such as limited availability, long waiting times, and insufficient funding often prevent individuals from accessing these vital resources.

In response to these challenges, All About Obesity is calling on individuals living with obesity to join forces and advocate for change.

The campaign encourages individuals to write to their local MPs to urge them to prioritise improved access to specialist weight management services and treatments in their communities.

By mobilising support from the ground up and raising awareness of the issue, All About Obesity aims to drive meaningful policy changes and ensure that individuals living with obesity receive the support they need to lead healthier lives.

"Access to quality weight management services is essential for individuals living with obesity to achieve their health goals and improve their overall well-being," said Sarah Le Brocq, Founder & Director at All About Obesity. "Through our new campaign, we hope to amplify the voices of those affected by obesity and inspire meaningful action at the policy level. Together, we can make a difference and ensure that everyone has access to the support they need to manage their weight effectively."

World Obesity Day serves as an opportune moment to raise awareness of the challenges faced by individuals living with obesity and to advocate for tangible solutions.

By harnessing the power of lived experience voices coming together, All About Obesity aims to drive positive change and create a future where everyone has access to the support, they need to achieve a healthy weight and improve their quality of life.
