In practice

How care is delivered

  • Set up as an NHS pilot delivering on the NHS Long Term Plan ambition to treat children for severe complications related to obesity.
  • The South East network model uses a biopsychosocial MDT and concentrates resources on those with the most severe complications.

This service has not published results

No dedicated Frimley Health CEW clinic reporting has been published. The trust contributed to a regional paediatric obesity referral pathway; the Surrey Heartlands CEW pilot in the same footprint is hosted by Ashford and St Peter's.

The published evidence for Evira comes from other services — see the Alder Hey clinical evaluation. It describes a different service and does not describe care at Frimley Health.
