NHS Weight Loss Medication — South West London
NHS South West London ICB provides information on weight loss medication services available locally, including eligibility criteria and how to access support through your GP or specialist service.
This includes information on newer injectable weight loss medications (such as those in the GLP-1 class) which may be suitable for some patients with obesity-related health conditions.
Weight loss medication is not suitable for everyone and is always considered alongside lifestyle advice. Please speak to your GP before seeking any weight management medication.
