What we do
Welcome to the Centre for Obesity Management, a public service run by the HSE. We are a consultant-led service specialising in management of the disease of obesity. We accept referrals from GPs and other health care professionals.
Our aim is to support you to improve your overall well-being and to help you achieve your best health outcomes. Our focus is on improving health, quality of life and managing weight in a realistic way over the longer term. We aim to empower you to lead a happy and healthy life in which you can fully participate.
During your time within the service we will explore the best treatment options for you as an individual. These may include embedding positive lifestyle habits into your day-to-day routines, mental health support, obesity medications, inpatient rehabilitation and bariatric surgery.
