Why has the clinical team asked for a verified height and weight?
As part of the clinical verification process, the clinical team may require a verified height and weight from your GP surgery.
This is needed to support a safe and accurate clinical review. The clinical team uses verified information from your GP surgery to confirm that the details on your account are up to date and suitable for assessment.
What does the GP surgery document need to include?
The verified document from your GP surgery must include all of the following:
Your height measured at the GP surgery.
Your weight measured at the GP surgery.
A date showing when the measurements were taken.
A stamp from the GP surgery for validation.
If any of this information is missing, the clinical team will not be able to use the document.
How do I send the verified height and weight?
Please reply directly to the email from the clinical team and attach the verified document from your GP surgery.
Replying to the same clinical team email helps make sure the document is linked to your clinical review as quickly as possible.
What happens if the document is not stamped or dated?
The verified height and weight must be stamped and dated by the GP surgery. If the document is not stamped and dated, it will not be accepted as part of the clinical verification process.
