Help and resources

Cut the Waist provides resources to facilitate development of weight management services within primary care. This section of the website contains downloads of patient monitoring sheets and a facility for NHS and other organisations to order Cut the Waist abdominal circumference tape measures for use in vascular screening programmes and weight management interventions.

The record sheets and tape measures have been useful self-monitoring tools as part of the Barometer expert patient weight management programme.

Cut the Waist will continue to develop essential tools for healthcare professionals and participants involved in NHS weight management services. Proceeds from the sale of Cut the Waist abdominal circumference tape measures will help to support development of further essential resources which will appear on this section of the website.

If there are any resources which you would find of use in helping to monitor progress within a weight management programme, or require other materials necessary to set up a weight management service, please contact Cut the Waist via the Further Information section.
