Certification - Low Calorie Diets

Patients often approach GPs with forms to fill out before they can embark on some low calorie diets.  You may find this information useful:

• You do not have to fill out these forms
• You can charge for filling out the form
• Much of the data, weight and BP is part of normal GMS care
• You can sign the form but still make it clear and document that you are not endorsing the diet plan

This is a really useful leaflet that a GP has developed, to give to patients who come in with these forms.  With thanks to Dr Toby Wallis. Lighter Life Medical Form
