Built around the service, not the other way around

Specialist CEW services differ in geography, patient population, clinical model and local priorities. The cases below show how digital support can sit around very different NHS pathways.

Published evidence

Birmingham and Alder Hey have published evaluations specifically involving Evira, while other services have published outcomes from their wider CEW pathways.

Service redesign

Nottingham documents how specialist care has evolved as demand increased and capacity became more constrained.

Care closer to home

Lancashire, Newcastle and Plymouth show how specialist support can extend through regional spokes, home visits, community care and remote interactions.

Person-centred care

Manchester and Southampton demonstrate why specialist obesity treatment needs to address psychological, social and clinical needs alongside weight.

Services use Evira differently. Outcomes published by a service describe that service. Patient data is not shared between Trusts — each organisation is the controller for its own patients.
