Weight management programme at New Mills

"Weight management programme at New Mills"

About: Derbyshire Community Health Services NHS Foundation Trust

(as the patient),

I have struggled with body weight for 60 years and this is the first programme that has succeeded. I lost over 14 pounds in 12 weeks and this acheived without any bullying or criticism.

The course leader, Vicki, was very empathetic and extremely patient, even when dealing with "difficult" people.

The course info book was very helpfull.
