Changes to Weight Management 

There has been a significant reduction in the allocation of funding for Public Health from 2016 onwards which has affected some of our services. As a result of these cuts, Birmingham Community Nutrition no longer accepts referrals for: 

• Weight management for adults, except for a small service for those requiring Specialist Weight Management (See adult referral criteria below)  

• Weight Management for children             
• Referrals from health visitors and school nurses to see children for faltering growth.    

 
We are sorry that we are no longer able to offer these services. However you may find the following sources of information useful:
