We require patients accessing our weight care services to be registered with a UK-based GP. Notifying your GP is a mandatory requirement to ensure the safe prescription of your treatment. All patients agree to this during their assessment when choosing to use our services.
For patient safety, we take a shared care approach, keeping NHS prescribers informed of any weight management medication prescribed outside of their practice. This communication is crucial for better patient outcomes, as it allows the GP to add the medication to your medical records and intervene if there are any concerns.
Registering with a GP in the UK is straightforward. You can do so by visiting your nearest GP practice.
