The Society for Endocrinology tier 3 obesity database; what is it and how can I get involved?
In this Webinar Rob Andrews will explain the rationale behind the development of the Society for Endocrinology tier 3 obesity database which is being provided free to all NHS tier 3 weight management services. He will then go onto demonstrate how the database works, highlight what benefits it could bring to a Tier 3 service and how it will link in with the up and coming NHS National Obesity Audit.
