IMPORTANT PATIENT UPDATE – WEIGHT LOSS MEDICATIONS

Posted by: matthewl - Posted on:

We understand there is a national policy around the availability of weight loss medications from 23 June 2025.

GP’s in Birmingham and Solihull have not yet received confirmation that they will be commissioned to prescribe these medications.

We are currently awaiting official guidance and commissioning updates. Until we receive confirmation, we cannot guarantee that the service will be available for our patients.

WHAT DO YOU NEED TO KNOW

  • We will provide an update as soon as more information becomes available
  • If we are going to be commissioned to provide this service, we will offer suitable appointments to our patients.
  • If we are not going to be commissioned, we will advise you on what arrangements are being put in place for the local population.

Thank you for your patience, understanding and for waiting for official updates before contacting us about this medication.
