All patients seeking help to lose weight should contact the NHS Lothian weight loss clinic.
Our practice is unable to prescribe weight loss injections for the following reasons:
- None of the treatments are on the NHS Lothian formulary which is a list of medications we are allowed to prescribe.
- Weight management clinics is a service that is not funded or resourced for GP Practices.
- If we decided to offer a weight management clinic from the practice, it would lead to a proportional loss to our core medical service.
