Programmes

Our group education programmes are a fun way of learning about and understanding diabetes or weight loss and wellbeing. Using visual aids and discovery learning we enable individuals to make their own informed decisions.

Each group is led by an X-PERT trained educator.  As part of the programme all participants receive their own extensive handbook.

 

Diabetes (Prevention and Management)

Suitable for anyone with pre-diabetes or Type 2 diabetes, regardless of treatment.

Attending the X-PERT Diabetes programme will increase your knowledge, skills and understanding of your condition and help you to make lifestyle choices to manage your blood glucose levels more effectively. An overview of the X-PERT Diabetes Programme can be found here.

Speak with your GP or Diabetes Team to check if they deliver our X-PERT Diabetes Programme locally. You may need to be referred to receive an invitation to a free course or access to the X-PERT Diabetes Digital Programme App.

If your GP does not currently offer X-PERT education in your local area you can purchase the Diabetes Digital Programme App, or the X-PERT Diabetes Prevention & Management Handbook, or book on to a Remote Diabetes Group Programme via our very own website shop.

Weight & Wellbeing

Healthier Lifestyle, Happier You!

An empowering and fun programme that explores the most effective methods to lose weight and keep it off. On the course you will address concerns that you have with your lifestyle, such as with your diet and physical activity levels.

This approach delivers multiple benefits well beyond weight loss including improving sleep quality, stress management, relationship with food and preventing future health conditions.

This programme is Tier 2 Weight Management structured group education, and can be delivered face to face, or via remote online groups.
