AN IMPORTANT UPDATE - September 2026

At the present time, there is no locally commissioned NHS weight loss injection service available in Nottinghamshire.

Previously, GPs were able to refer eligible patients to a specialist weight management service for assessment and treatment with weight loss injections. Unfortunately, this service has recently been decommissioned.

As a result, GP practices across Nottinghamshire are currently unable to prescribe weight loss injections through the NHS where this specialist service would previously have provided treatment.

We appreciate that this may be disappointing, particularly if you were previously eligible for referral or treatment, and we are sorry for any inconvenience this may cause. If local NHS services or referral pathways change in the future, we will update our website with further information. We will continue to prescribe injections to those patients who were seen by the specialist service before it ceased.

Thank you for your understanding.
