Many patients have contacted us, for weight management drugs to be prescribed. There are strict eligibility criteria to receive these drugs, and we are currently waiting for more information from BSW ICB. Below are links to their patient information and frequently asked questions.

We are also being asked to give opinions on weight management drugs by patients who have accessed them from the private sector. This is not our role, and we are not able to advise on this.
When we receive information from BSW ICB, we will share the eligibility criteria and decide if this is a service that the practice can provide.
