Getting Our Active Lifestyle Started (GOALS) - Client Welcome Pack

Welcome!

Welcome to the NHS Lanarkshire Weight Management Service (LWMS). We offer one-on-one individual support from a Paediatric Dietitian (someone who helps you to eat and drink well), and a Personal Trainer, for up to 6 months. 

We want to help children, young people and families to make lasting changes to improve their lifestyle and work towards a healthy weight.

We will look at ways to improve your family’s diet, increase physical activity levels and reduce screen time.

What you can expect from us

• A service that gives you the support you need, and meets your child’s individual needs.
• Regular appointments with a Paediatric Dietitian to help introduce your family to healthier lifestyle changes.
• Eight sessions with a certified Personal Trainer.
• Access to a variety of physical activities, both indoors and outdoors.
• Maintenance appointments at six, nine and twelve months to help you track your progress and give you any support you might need.

What we expect from you

Commitment

• If you have to cancel an appointment, please give 24 hours notice to your Personal Trainer and/or Dietitian whenever you can. If we ever have to change an appointment, we will do the same.
• If you do not attend, or cancel 3 appointments, we will discharge you from the programme.
• Parents and carers are encouraged to attend (but not participate) in personal training sessions along with their child to support them through the programme.

Client Agreement

I have read and understand what I can expect from the Lanarkshire Weight Management Service. I also understand what I am expected to do to take part. I accept these, and would like my child to participate in the programme.  I understand that if I do not do what is expected of me, I might be discharged from the programme.
