Wegovy® should only be prescribed within Ashford & St Peters pilot site clinics for children and young people(12 to 16 years) from Surrey Heartlands with severe complications of excess weight. Wegovy®, is only a small component of the service, and will only be considered for a sub-section of the CYP in this pilot.

Referrals to the service need to be made by Paediatricians

Do NOT prescribe Wegovy ®, or semaglutide for the treatment of obesity in primary care.

Alternatively, for all children or teenagers aged 5-17 years with concerns about their weight, can be referred to the Be your Best service by their primary care team, or can self-refer for better health.
