It has recently been in the news about the use of weight loss injections via the NHS. There still not currently a service we can refer patients to for this – and they have to come via a specialised service at the moment and cannot be prescribed by GP’s.
The local health region authority is looking into putting this service together and information can be found using this link: Weight loss drugs – information for patients | North East and North Cumbria NHS
It also warns of the issues buying these medications online.
