Weight Management Service for Children and Adolescents

The Weight Management Service for Children and Adolescents is a new service being developed as an integral part of the paediatric primary care and child health service in the CHO. It will provide co-ordinated multi-discipline assessment and interdisciplinary weight management for eligible children and adolescents with onward referral to specialist ambulatory paediatric care for management of co-morbidities as necessary. The service is aligned to Level 1b of Model of Care for Management of Overweight and Obesity (Children & Young People).

The service functions on a hub and spoke model, with the team co-located and delivering clinics and services in communities, responsive to service user needs. The Child and Adolescent Weight Management Service supports training and capacity building across primary care services for early identification and intervention for weight management.

Child and Adolescent Weight Management Service staff will work with the HSE Obesity Clinical Programme to develop, implement, monitor and evaluate a standardised, evidence-based model of service delivery.
