Why Patients Ask About NHS Access
With Wegovy (semaglutide, also known as Ozempic) being one of the most effective weight-loss injections available, many patients wonder: can I get Wegovy on the NHS, or do I have to buy it privately?
Wegovy on the NHS
- The NHS does prescribe Wegovy, but access is very limited.
- It is typically reserved for patients who:
- Have a BMI of 35 or higher, and
- Have weight-related health conditions such as type 2 diabetes or hypertension.
- Even if eligible, waiting lists can be long due to high demand and supply shortages.
