Show Notes
NHS England is set to distribute free Wegovy shots to over a million overweight individuals at high risk for heart attacks, strokes, or leg circulation problems. This decision comes after NICE approved the weekly injection as additional heart protection for those with a BMI of 27 or higher. The treatment, which mimics a fullness hormone to curb appetite and slow digestion, has shown promising results in trials, reducing heart attacks and strokes by 20% and potentially preventing issues in seven out of ten cases. The rollout is expected to start this summer, with patients self-injecting at home.
