Terms and Conditions

This enquiry form is provided by School Lane Surgery, an NHS General Practice, for the purpose of facilitating patient enquiries regarding weight-loss treatment options available through the National Health Service (NHS). By submitting this form, you are requesting a preliminary review of your potential eligibility for NHS-funded or supported weight-loss interventions. This process is designed to ensure that all patients receive accurate, personalized information about publicly available services in line with NHS guidelines and the General Medical Services (GMS) contract obligations. The Practice commits to handling your enquiry with the utmost confidentiality and in strict adherence to data protection laws, including the UK General Data Protection Regulation (UK GDPR) and the Data Protection Act 2018. Your personal and medical information will not be shared with any external organisation. Upon receipt of your completed form and consents, a qualified member of the School Lane Surgery team will access your medical record (as per your explicit consent) to evaluate factors such as your current health status, any regular or as-required medications you use, past biometric data for body mass index (BMI) calculated from the provided weight and height (current as well as historical and taking into account trends and acute changes), any relevant comorbidities (significant medical conditions that you currently have, and in some cases that you have had historicaly), and potential contra-indications to common weight-loss treatments. This review is a standard clinical procedure akin to those used in routine NHS consultations and is intended to identify suitable pathways without guaranteeing any specific outcome or treatment availability. Eligibility for NHS services remains subject to national criteria, which are periodically updated by NHS England; for example, access to certain pharmacotherapies like Orlistat may require a BMI threshold and associated health conditions, while advanced options are limited to specialized tiers. The exploration of pathways will prioritize NHS options where applicable. This may encompass direct provision through the Practice, such as prescriptions for eligible medications under the NHS enhanced services framework, or referrals to integrated NHS partner programs, including local Weight Management Services that offer multidisciplinary support encompassing dietetic advice, behavioral interventions, and physical activity guidance. In instances where NHS criteria are not met, the review may include recommendations for supplementary, non-NHS supported initiatives that align with evidence-based public health strategies. These could involve established community partnerships, such as group-based lifestyle programs provided by organizations like Slimming World, which have long-standing collaborations with the NHS through referral schemes offering subsidized access to patients, or referrals to local leisure facilities and gyms that provide discounted memberships as part of broader health promotion efforts. The availability of services that originate outside the NHS cannot be guaranteed by School Lane Surgery or the NHS in general. Such recommendations are made impartially, based solely on clinical judgment, and do not constitute endorsements or advertisements but rather extensions of holistic care planning to support sustainable weight management. Your right to seek your own weight-loss treatments remains unaffected, and any parallel and ongoing NHS referrals and treatments will also remain unaffected. Your consent to contact via SMS or WhatsApp enables efficient, secure communication of review outcomes, typically within 3 working days. Messages will be limited to factual summaries of findings, next steps for NHS pathways if applicable, and any appropriate recommendations, ensuring compliance with electronic communication standards under the Privacy and Electronic Communications Regulations (PECR). Your interaction with SMS, WhatsApp and other electronic messaging may be enhanced by information technology. You retain full control over this channel; opting out is straightforward and will not affect your NHS care. All communications will originate from verified Practice numbers and include clear identification. You can opt-out, stop and cease any communications from School Lane Surgery by replying STOP. Data Protection and Privacy: Personal data submitted via this form, including name, contact details, weight, height, and derived BMI, will be processed only for the purposes outlined herein and stored securely within the Practice's clinical IT systems, integrated with your NHS record where consented. Data retention aligns with NHS Records Management Code of Practice, with enquiry-specific notes archived for up to 10 years or as required for audit/complaint resolution. We do not share data with third parties without explicit consent or legal mandate, and all processing is underpinned by legitimate interests in direct patient care or your freely given consent. You have rights under UK GDPR to access, rectify, erase, or object to processing at any time by contacting the Practice's Data Protection Officer. Limitations and Disclaimers: This enquiry does not replace a formal consultation; outcomes are advisory and subject to clinical discretion. The Practice cannot assure eligibility or availability due to resource constraints or policy changes. No financial implications arise from this process for NHS services, though recommended external programs may involve nominal costs mitigated by NHS discounts where available. By proceeding, you acknowledge that weight-loss is a multifaceted endeavor requiring commitment, and the Practice encourages a balanced approach integrating medical, nutritional, and psychological elements. Governing Law and Changes: These terms are governed by English law and may be updated to reflect regulatory evolutions; continued use implies acceptance. For queries, contact the Practice via standard NHS channels.

I have read, understood, and agree to the Terms and Conditions above.
