Weight Management Referral enhanced service 2025-2026
Background
Obesity is a risk factor for the development of several long-term conditions and serious illness including COVID-19. There’s evidence the number of people living with obesity have fallen during the pandemic, which is not in line with the public health figures.
The aim of the Enhanced Service is:
To support practices to develop and implement a proactive approach to identify patients defined as obese. Obesity is defined as a BMI >= 30 or >= 27.5 for those of Black, Asian and other minority ethnic groups.
To reward practices for engaging with patients on weight management and to support those who are ready to make behavioural changes to do so through referral to weight management programmes.
Claims for payments for this programme are made monthly, after the referral. Practices are required to enter the number of referrals each month within 12 days of the end of the month when the referral was made.
Purpose and outline
The purpose is to calculate, report and pay for activity undertaken in line with contractual agreement.
