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 review and comment on this draft guideline.

The consultation closes on 28/11/23 at 5pm

How to comment

1. Register your organisation or comment as an individual
