This programme aims to embed a more holistic approach to healthy weight and comprises of two elements:

• Reviewing the current provision of weight management services available in East Riding to identify gaps and strengthen pathways.
• Implementing a compassionate approach to weight across the system, by removing the focus on weight loss, changing the narrative by framing conversations around healthy behaviours, and creating healthy environments for people to live in. An East Riding Healthy Weight Network and a ‘More than Weight’ steering group have been established to lead the whole-system compassionate approach to weight.
