Statement of purpose

NIOPPS was formed by a group of practitioners working in weight loss programmes in order to;

  1. Monitor standards of best practice in weight loss programmes
  2. Give guidance for best practice to clinics and practitioners not currently achieving best practice standards.
  3. Provide a framework for continuing educational development for weight loss practitioners.
  4. Accredit and publicise practitioners and clinics who have achieved the standards of practice required to enter the NIOPPS register.
  5. Provide advice and support to any government agencies requiring specialist advice on weight loss programmes.
