Glasgow Royal Infirmary’s Weight Management Service (GWMS) – an NHS clinic in Glasgow has been named as the best in the UK at treating obesity and weight problems by the National Obesity Forum.
Funded by NHS Greater Glasgow & Clyde, the service was set up two years ago, and treats more than 1000 patients each year.
The clinic takes a holistic approach to health, with a team of experts including dietitians, psychologists, and physiotherapists. It takes referrals from GPs and hospital doctors.
One in five adults in Scotland is now clinically obese, and the figure is expected to rise.
