For certain medications, including weight management treatments, we strongly encourage you to provide your GP details before we issue a prescription.
Sharing these details supports:
Patient safety: helping confirm that the medication is safe and suitable for you
Continuity of care: keeping your GP informed and supporting coordinated care
Prevention of drug interactions: helping your GP prescribe other medication safely
Regulatory compliance: following healthcare and prescribing requirements
You can skip this step and still submit your prescription request. However, providing your GP details is the safest way for us to support your treatment.
What if I don't have a GP?
You can still complete your consultation and request a prescription. However, we strongly recommend registering with a GP before starting treatment. Having a regular medical contact helps protect your health and supports safe, appropriate ongoing treatment.
Will my GP be contacted?
If you provide your GP details, we'll send your GP a letter about the medication you've been prescribed. This keeps your medical records up to date and supports your ongoing care.
If you don't share your details, we won't be able to notify your GP. Your information will always be handled in line with data protection laws and medical confidentiality standards.
Can I choose not to share my GP details?
Yes. Sharing your GP details is optional, and you can complete your consultation without them. We strongly encourage you to provide them so we can communicate with your GP and support your wider care.
