The NHS in South West London is working closely with NHS England to ensure access to weight loss medications for those who are eligible through their GP practice or a local pharmacy.
You will be contacted directly if you are eligible – so we kindly ask that you do not contact your GP practice or local pharmacies unless invited to do so.
To ensure fair and safe access, the rollout is happening in phases across south west London including Croydon, Kingston, Merton, Richmond, Sutton, Wandsworth and the rest of England.
We ask that all health care professionals are treated with respect while we work to support the delivery of this service.
