NHS England (NHSE) have established the NOA to bring together comparable data from across the different types of Weight Management Services (WMS) across England to drive improvement in care for the benefit of those living with overweight and obesity.

All WMS and interventions (for weight loss, maintenance of a healthy weight, or a decreased rate of weight gain) in England are in scope of the audit. This includes services currently described as Tiers 2, 3 and 4 that are NHS or local authority commissioned. Privately funded or voluntary (i.e. non-commissioned) services are also able to submit data to the audit if they choose to. Universally available interventions classified as Tier 1 can also be included voluntarily where they are able to provide individual-level data.

Tier 2 and tier 3 weight management services are requested to submit weight management data via the CSDS.


The Community Services Dataset

The Community Services Data Set (CSDS), is a patient level, output based, secondary uses data set which delivers robust, comprehensive, nationally consistent and comparable person-centred information for people who are in contact with publicly-funded Community Health Services.

As a secondary uses data set, CSDS re-uses clinical and operational data for purposes other than direct patient care. It defines the data items, definitions and associated value sets extracted or derived from local information systems and sent to NHS England for analysis purposes.


How to submit data

The Strategic Data Collection Service (SDCS) Cloud is the submission tool for the CSDS. Learn more about submitting data to CSDS.

Before you can submit data to CSDS you will need to:

  1. Find or register your Organisation Data Service code
  2. Find or register your information governance lead
