‘Change in Lillie has been dramatic’

Lillie Dixon, who weighed 38kg when she was just six years old, is one of more than 300 children to benefit from a unique family-based childhood obesity treatment programme.

The W82GO childhood obesity treatment programme at Temple Street Children’s University Hospital in Dublin has been achieving a greater weight loss in children than the international average.

Over the last five years, 312 children aged 18 months to 16 years have participated in the 12-month family-based obesity treatment programme.
