LighterLife initial
consultation
Clients interested in joining LighterLife can
attend a initial consultation with a LighterLife weight management counsellor.
The initial consultation lasts up to an hour
and is free of charge. During this time we explain how LighterLife
can help your patient lose weight and then manage their weight
loss sustainably in the future.
During the initial consultation we
also assess your patient's level of commitment and their
readiness to change.
They’ll be able to ask any questions they may
have.
They will be asked to complete a simple
screening questionnaire which begins the process of vetting for
medical suitability.
If they wish to join, they’ll be given a
health questionnaire form. If their
BMI is 30 or over, this must be completed by their GP,
practice nurse or approved healthcare professional. If their
BMI is between 25 and 29.9, they will be able to complete it
themselves.
If approved by LighterLife, they can then join
a weight-loss group.
