How to Get Weight Loss Medication Through Your GP
If you’re struggling to lose weight despite making healthy lifestyle changes, your GP can help you explore safe and effective medical options. During your appointment, your doctor will review your health history, current medications, and weight management efforts. They may check your BMI and screen for conditions like diabetes or high blood pressure. Your GP can refer you to a specialist service for further support. Always consult your doctor before starting any new medication—your GP can help you find the most suitable and sustainable approach for your health goals.

Get Weight Loss Medication Through Your GP
If you’re struggling to lose weight through diet and exercise alone, your GP can help. After assessing your overall health, BMI, and any underlying conditions, your doctor can prescribe clinically approved weight loss medications that suit your needs. These treatments work best alongside healthy lifestyle changes and regular check-ins with your healthcare team. Talk to your GP today to see if prescription weight loss medication is right for you.

🎗️ Breast Screening Saves Lives
Breast cancer is easier to treat when found early — that’s why regular breast screening is so important.
If you're aged 50 to 70, you should receive a screening invitation every 3 years. If you're over 70, you can still self-refer.
✅ It only takes a few minutes
✅ It could save your life
Don’t ignore your invite — and if you have any concerns, speak to your GP. We're here to help.
