Oviva (weight management) referred by Gp

[Raquel75]

Has anyone being referred to Oviva by their GP. Live in the northwest, it’s a weight management plan .
Im paying for Mounjaro however GP has said I should get these on the NHS now , so referred to Oviva . Anybody had any experience of this .

I'd be interested to know if you've been prescribed now and how long it took between your referral and ovivia contacting you. If you have heard anything that is

Hi - so got referred in Jan 2025 . Then heard from them in April .
Got telephone consultation in June to be prescribed ‘wegovy’ .

I asked about this last year. I have high blood pressure and BMI of 32. The practice pharmacist I saw for my annual review said I should speak to my GP so I sent in a e-consult enquiry. Was swiftly told that my BMI it would have to be 33.25 for me to be referred. I think I’ve put on more weight since then, so maybe I’ll get a referral this year.
