NICE are delaying publication of the final Overweight and Obesity guideline in order to ensure it is useful and usable for our stakeholders in line with the NICE transformation plan. We will provide a further update on this page when this work is complete. We apologise for any inconvenience this delay may cause.

You can now comment on this draft scope. The scope defines what the guideline will (and will not) cover.

The consultation closes at 5:00pm on 7th May 2021

How to comment

1. Register your organisation

Your organisation needs to be registered as a stakeholder before we can accept comments.

We can accept comments from individuals. These will be considered, but you won’t get a formal response and they won’t be posted on the NICE website. Wherever possible we encourage you to submit your comments through a registered stakeholder organisation.
