3 NHS DORSET CLINICAL COMMISSIONING GROUP ACCESS CRITERIA FOR TIER 3 WEIGHT MANAGEMENT PROGRAMME 1. INTRODUCTION 1.1 Bariatric surgery is a specialist service and from April 2013 this will be commissioned by NHS England. 1.2 The National Clinical Policy: Complex and Specialised Obesity Surgery outlines the model of care for managing obesity as follows: Tier 1 Primary care with community advice. Tier 2 Primary care with community interventions. Tier 3 A community/primary care based multi-disciplinary team (MDT) to provide an intensive level of input to patients (Tier 3 WMP). Tier 4 - Specialist obesity services including surgery. 1.3 NHS England requires that all individuals have attended and complied with a local Tier 3 WMP for a minimum of 6 months before referral to Tier 4 services for surgical assessment to ensure: all other non-surgical options have been exhausted; the patient has demonstrated a commitment to lifestyle changes required for a successful outcome from surgery; the patient is fit for surgery. 1.4 All providers of bariatric surgery will need to be assured that people have successfully completed a Tier 3 WMP. (Appendix 1) The access criteria for a Tier 3 WMP, is detailed below and approval for referral will be made by the Dorset CCG Individual Patient Treatment (IPT) team. Direct referral to Tier 3 services cannot be made. 1.5 Approval for onward referral to Tier 4 services for bariatric surgical assessment will be considered by the IPT team following successful completion of the Tier 3 WMP. GP s will then be advised if a referral to a surgical service can be made. 1.6 Any patient identified as clinically inappropriate for Tier 3 WMP i.e. the presence of serious uncontrolled disease or unstable psychiatric disorder, may be considered by the IPT team for direct referral to Tier 4 bariatric services for assessment and advice. 2
4 1.7 Direct referral to Tier 3 and Tier 4 bariatric services cannot be made by the GP or other healthcare professionals without explicit approval from the Dorset CCG IPT Team. 2. TIER 3 ACCESS CRITERIA 2.1 All patients referred to the Dorset IPT Team for consideration for Tier 3 WMP must meet the NICE guidance for bariatric surgery: BMI of >35, in the presence of diabetes and/or other significant co-morbid conditions; BMI >40 without the presence of diabetes and/or other significant co-morbid conditions. 2.2 Patients will only be considered for referral to Tier 3 WMP if evidence is presented to demonstrate sustained and co-ordinated Tier 1 and 2 community interventions have been tried and failed. 2.3 Patients will be aged 16 years or over. 3. OBESITY MANAGEMENT PATHWAY 3.1 GPs are already required to collect data on any patient with a BMI of 30 or more and offer lifestyle advice. 3.2 Other non-surgical resources available to control obesity include: counselling; psychological assessment and programme; medication. 3.3 The GP practice of a patient identified as having morbid obesity should identify a health professional who will act as the advisor to each patient and who will assist in drawing up a specific programme of non-surgical measures. Regular assessment should be undertaken to review progress. 3.4 The GP practice will have supported the patient in a co-ordinated way (Tier 2) for at least three years prior to a request for Tier 3 WMP. 3.5 A request will be accompanied by a copy of the last 2 years individual s programme drawn up by the practice and a summary of progress against this programme. 3.6 Patients will only be considered for referral to the Tier 3 WMP, if evidence is presented to demonstrate sustained and co-ordinated Tier 2 community programmes have failed. These measures must be documented to show what has been tried, the length of time, 3
5 and reason for failure. A food diary for the 6 weeks prior to a request for referral to a Tier 3 service will be attached to a referral request. 3.7 The documentation and evidence as set out in the Tier 3 WMP proforma (Appendix 2) should be submitted by the patient s GP to Dorset CCG for consideration against the criterion set out in the NICE guidance. It is the responsibility of the relevant health professional at the GP practice to complete the bariatric proforma in full. Dorset CCG will only consider applications where full information is provided. 3.8 Individuals approved for Tier 3 WMP will be referred directly to the service by the Dorset CCG IPT team. The GP will be notified of this referral. 3.9 On completion of the programme Tier 3 WMP will provide recommendations for each individual regarding future weight management including appropriateness of referral for a bariatric surgical assessment Based on these recommendations, the Dorset CCG IPT team will advise the GP if referral to Tier 4 bariatric services is supported. 4. PREVIOUS SURGERY 4.1 All patients that have already undergone bariatric surgery can be considered for referral to Tier 3 WMP. However, they will need to have been supported within primary care in line with new referrals. 4.2 Where a patient has already undergone bariatric surgery and there is concern clinically about the surgery, referral to the local surgical service should be considered. This will be for an assessment of surgical complications and not for repeat bariatric surgery.
