‍ ‍WEIGHT LOSS INJECTIONS

‍ ‍The NHS will shortly be allowing GPs to prescribe weight loss injections, but there will be very strict criteria for the first cohort and unfortunately the majority of our patients will not be eligible for several years. The criteria is:-

‍

A BMI of 40 or more PLUS 4 of the following medical conditions:-‍ ‍

  • Hypertension (high blood pressure)

  • Dyslipidaemia (high cholesterol)

  • Cardiovascular disease (stroke, heart attack, angina, peripheral vascular disease)

  • Obstructive sleep apnoea

  • Type 2 diabetes

‍PLEASE DO NOT CONTACT US ABOUT THESE REQUESTS, we will identify the patients who meet the criteria and contact them directly to ask if they would like to consider it.
