Description

Lancashire's Cardiovascular Disease (CVD) mortality rates are well above the England average which in part is likely to be associated with correspondingly high levels of deprivation. Two of the common modifiable risk factors of CVD is being overweight or
obese and physically inactive. As such Lancashire County Council's Health and Wellbeing Board have made a commitment to prioritise Healthy Hearts as one of its initial three priorities. The Healthy Weight service will form a key part of supporting the Healthy Hearts Strategy and will report to the Healthy Hearts Steering group. Addressing unhealthy weight and supporting people to sustain weight loss is complex and it is recognised that just providing traditional weight management services is no longer enough. A flexible service is needed that adapts to meet need and promotes sustainability whilst contributing to a whole systems approach to tackling obesity,
working closely and in partnership with stakeholders to improve outcomes for all.
