The NHS Digital Weight Management Programme has received over 100,000 referrals from general practices. The programme supports adults living with obesity who also have a diagnosis of diabetes, hypertension or both, to manage their weight and improve their health.
To continue making referrals and to save time by ensuring more of the patient’s information auto-populates you should now use version 2 of the referral form which CCG IT teams are uploading onto your practice system. If your practice uses Ardens or DXS, version 2 is already available. You can also download the updated form. This video can also help practices refer patients through the e-referral system. Please contact the team if you have any queries.
