Congratulations to all who took part.

The "Eat Well, Move More" Little Surgery programme has come to the end of its first year. We are delighted with the results.

At the outset, we decided the scheme would be successful if 33% of participants achieved a 12lb weight loss by the end of the program. 41 patients actively participated in the programme.

We are very pleased to report that:

• 15 patients (37% of participants) lost at least 12 lb in weight.
• A further 5 patients lost some weight, although they did not achieve the full 12 lb target.
• We paid out nearly £1,000 in reimbursements for gym and diet club membership.

Well done everyone!

This programme was not just about weight loss. We hoped people would become fitter and healthier as a result of participating. And we hoped that with a new confidence in themselves, their good habits would continue.

For some people, this has been a life changing event. We also know, from patient’s comments that the impact of the scheme has extended beyond the individuals involved, as many have reported that their whole family has benefited.
