CompassLifestyleMedicine (CLM) have been commissioned to deliver the CHIP (Complete Health Improvement Program) to 100 people in Mid and South Essex who are taking medication for Type 2 Diabetes.
Patients were recruited over a 9 month period from the Mid and South Essex ICS. They completed a 10 week CHIP programme on-line in groups of 10. Each group was led by 2 CLM-trained facilitators.
