    Indicator development programme: Consultation on new NICE indicators

    Closed for comments This consultation ended on at   Request commenting lead permission

    Introduction

    This consultation paper includes proposals for general practice weight management indicators focusing on:

    • Advice for people who are living with overweight which aims to increase chances of patient weight loss by incentivising provision of weight management advice, that includes information about the severity of their overweight and central adiposity.

    • Nutritional status monitoring after bariatric surgery which aims to increase chances of patients maintaining weight loss and manage potential nutritional risk.

    Stakeholders are asked to consider the following questions when commenting on the proposed indicators:

    1. Do you think there are any barriers to implementing the care described by these indicators?

    2. Do you think there are potential unintended consequences to implementing/using any of these indicators?

    3. Do you think there is potential for differential impact (in respect of age, disability, gender and gender reassignment, pregnancy and maternity, race, religion or belief, and sexual orientation)? If so, please state whether this is adverse or positive and for which group.

    4. If you think either of these indicators may have an adverse impact in different groups in the community, can you suggest how the indicator might be delivered differently to different groups to reduce health inequalities?
