Do you have any suggestions for how we can make improvements to what we do and the type of support offered within the Weight Management Service? The Weight Management and Bariatric Surgery Service would love to invite a group of interested and motivated patients to attend intermittent drop-in sessions (dates to be arranged) where key parts of service provision can be discussed.
We cannot guarantee that we will implement the ideas or suggestions made, but certainly, we will always seek to provide feedback at a later date about whether a suggestion has led to changes or not.
We are professionals who work in this area, and so we have an obligation to design our service based upon the most up-to-date evidence about what works, and for whom. But, we are not the recipients of the care that we provide, you are.
Therefore, it is incredibly important that we aim to deliver great evidence-based practice, but which is also the care and service that patients actually want, as this will optimise patients’ engagement in our service, and hopefully it will enhance patient outcomes.
Would you be interested to help to establish our Patient Involvement Forum? If you would like to be involved, please let a member of the team know.
Starting from 2020, we will begin to collate a list of interested patients. We will then post updates about the dates of future Patient Involvement Forum meetings to keep you all updated about this.

Please ensure you have a current blood test request form, if not please contact your hospital consultant or GP and they will post one to you. Unfortunately, your blood test will need to be rescheduled if you do not have a blood test request form when you come to a Blood Test clinic.
All blood tests are by appointment, please book an appointment using the Book Online button below.
If you have an appointment and cannot attend, please remember to cancel or reschedule your appointment so that someone else can use the time slot that you no longer need.
If you cannot book an appointment online, family and friends may be able to help – you can book appointments for more than one person from one account. Booking online is the quickest way to make an appointment.
If this is not possible, there is a telephone line for those who cannot book online. Please call 02476 153546 between 8am and 1pm Monday to Friday, excluding Bank Holidays.
