Losing weight is extremely difficult – there are so many factors which contribute to weight including genetics, dietary habits, physical activity and socioeconomic status. The Albion surgery is here to support you to improve your weight and overall health and wellbeing; we understand that each person is different and what appeals to one person won’t appeal to someone else. In light of this, we have shared a wide range of resources which you might find helpful in supporting your health journey.
