Summary
The experienced, friendly and committed MDT comprises: Dietitians, psychologists, physio, non-medical prescriber (pharmacist) and admin support. The medic post is funded through temporary ICB inequalities funding, and the team have worked hard to evolve with this funding. They have collected impressive outcome data to date and are in the early stages of prescribing anti obesity medications. The team is currently evolving, hoping to prescribe more anti obesity medications and secure onward funding. Given this, it is essential you enjoy participating in effective MDT work and have enthusiasm to help develop the service and treatment pathways. We are excited by the opportunity to involve a G.P in the team to bring ideas and support the service in working more efficiently with Newcastle primary care services. The service is currently commissioned to support up to 285 patients per year living with obesity who have a Newcastle G.P. Within this we are also supporting some complex referrals from NUTH specialities and anticipate in future our service eligibility will focus on the most complex patients (requiring specialist MDT support).
