Many people take part in weight management programmes and manage to lose weight, but most put this weight back on over time. To help people better manage their weight, we need to understand what programmes are available to help people stop putting the weight back on after they have lost it and to find out the type of help people want and need.

We are investigating if losing weight before having surgery improves surgical outcomes and helps patients keep the weight off afterwards.

Take part in a study to increase your physical activity!

We are exploring a new approach called Snacktivity^TM which encourages people to do small 'snacks' of activity through the day.

If you would like to take part or find out more information, please visit the trial website hosted by our research partners at the University of Birmingham.
