Information about weight management services and the availability of weight-related drug treatments in Suffolk and North East Essex:

We are aware of the recent news reports, however we are not able to prescribe this in General Practice locally, this varies by area – in this area there is a new NHS weight management service expected to launch later this summer. Full details aren’t available yet and we are not yet able to refer for this, but it’s likely to include weight management programmes, medications, or surgery depending on individual assessment once you have been referred on to them. Most patients will need a BMI over 35 and other conditions to be referred and the team will assess and decide on which will be suitable for each individual. Please get back in touch with us in late summer for more information. Read more

Please note our practices will be closed on Monday 26th May for the Spring Bank Holiday.
