A Remotely Delivered Weight Management Service to Support Existing Obesity Services in the UK National Health Service: Preliminary Findings From an Early-Stage Service Evaluation

This preliminary service evaluation suggests that a remotely delivered SWMS has the potential to be effective, feasible, and acceptable for NHS-referred patients in the United Kingdom. Changes observed across several key measures point to clinically significant benefits, reinforcing the potential of this approach. A full evaluation of all 3 phases of this service with a larger sample size is required to support these early findings.

Abstract

This preliminary service evaluation suggests that a remotely delivered SWMS has the potential to be effective, feasible, and acceptable for NHS-referred patients in the United Kingdom. Changes observed across several key measures point to clinically significant benefits, reinforcing the potential of this approach. A full evaluation of all 3 phases of this service with a larger sample size is required to support these early findings.
