Weight management services
As well as referring yourself to the weight loss and exercise programmes, your GP may be able to refer you to weight management services if you are eligible.
The weight management service will assess you and consider the next steps depending on your individual circumstances and NHS eligibility criteria. These options may include:
- diet and exercise programmes
- weight loss injections
- bariatric surgery.
The only way to get weight-loss injections via the NHS is through weight management services following a referral from your GP. Weight-loss injections will only be available to specific people with the highest clinical need. Find out more about the eligibility criteria for weight-loss injections.
As part of the weight management service, you will be monitored over time to ensure you are receiving the right support.
