PCC issues obesity guidance

A framework for managing obesity in primary care has been published by NHS Primary Care Contracting this week. PCC has also published primary care service frameworks for long-term conditions, support for self-care and sexual health.

The frameworks are generic service specifications designed to help commissioners and providers consider an integrated approach to enhanced service provision in primary care. They also describe what contractual routes would be the most appropriate to adopt locally.
