Primary Care Show 2026

This session shares early learning from introducing GLP‑1 medicines for obesity in primary care in England and from developing pathways in a specialist weight management service in Scotland. It outlines the key challenges encountered & highlights the essential role of dietitians to support safe and effective use of these treatments. It also considers the role of First Contact Dietitians working within Primary Care Networks in England, and how supplementary prescriber dietitians can support workforce transformation, optimise use of clinical skills, and help enable safe, timely and equitable access to GLP‑1 therapies within existing primary care capacity.
