Going to your GP or healthcare professional if you've previously experienced 'weight talk' instead of having what you went with addressed can be stressful.... behind the scenes we're working to change this...
In the meantime, VCSE Nutriri, in consultation with patients and healthcare professionals have made this 'Weight Neutral Patient Card' to help you feel empowered in the consultation room.
Medical practices around the world have found similar 'consent cards' useful, we've created a UK specific Weight Neutral Patient Card.
Feedback from citizens, GP's and Wellbeing professionals has helped us tweak the cards to empower patients/clients, and let professionals know that they have someone in front of them who is actively engaged in their own healthcare.
At VCSE Nutriri we've been working since 2015 to improve access to health, food and movement without focusing on weight as a health metric. Come on over and read about/watch our visit to The House of Commons and discover our CPD training and community.
