The Commissioners are assessing the markets interest, capabilities and capacity to provide a Tier 3 service for a multi-disciplinary (e.g. including a physician, dietician, psychologist with a special interest in obesity etc.), specialist weight management services which support people with severe obesity and complex needs over a long period of time (e.g. 12-24 months). These services will often include pharmacotherapy and behavioural intervention also.

• ensure systems are in place to allow people to access or receive support from an obesity pathway.
• to contribute to reducing adult obesity prevalence in Derby City and Derbyshire County by providing an evidence-based, person-centred service for people who are severely overweight, with or without co-morbidities.
The key Objectives of the Service will be to;
• to provide a triage and case management service that identifies, with eligible service users, the best weight management journey for them and continues for up to 12-24 months as needed.
• to provide an appropriate mix of specialist interventions (e.g. behavioural, dietetic, pharmacological etc.) to support weight management, meet client needs and achieve service outcomes.
• to work with statutory services to support eligible service users into existing community and voluntary sector support for diet, lifestyle and physical activity.
• to provide and manage a service that is equitable and accessible by clients who wish to access it.
• to ensure robust quality assurance systems at all levels of the Service.
• to promote the Service, motivating eligible patients to consider weight-loss and access the Service.
