Evolving role of GLP1-RA in obesity

Glucagon-like peptide-1 receptor agonists (GLP-1RAs) are a class of drugs initially developed to treat type 2 diabetes and are now becoming more widely used for obesity. They work by mimicking the actions of the GLP-1 hormone, which is released by the gut after eating. GPs will be used to prescribing them for type 2 diabetes, but less so for obesity.

In this podcast, Dr Thomas Round discusses the evolving role of GLP1-RA in obesity, the benefits and potential side effects, the role of the GP, and the latest NICE guidance in this area with Dr Stephanie DiGiorgio, an urgent care GP with a specialist interest in obesity.

Following the recent news that the GLP-1 agonist tirzepatide has been approved by NICE for use outside of hospital settings, this evening webinar aims to enhance understanding of these medications and looks at the way in which they may affect your day-to-day practice. Including prescribing process and logistical elements which you may face as a GP.

Not only will we look at prescribing but also factor into us all seeing more and more patients walk through our doors using weight loss injections privately. These talks will help you better understand all the considerations for providing weight loss injections and provide useful take home tips and updates around what to discuss with patients, including lifestyle advice.

Learning Objectives: 

  • Understand GLP-1 agonists currently for patients living with obesity
  • Discuss potential benefits, risks and side effects of these medications
  • Understand the prescribing process, including up-titration and considerations for other medications
  • Review the NICE eligibility criteria and the NHSE funding variation

There are 12 million young people aged 10-25 in the UK, forming 18% of the population. Adolescence is one of the most rapid and formative phases of human development. The distinctive physical, cognitive, social, emotional and sexual development that occurs in adolescence demands special attention from health practitioners as their health and wellbeing affects not only themselves but also their family, friends, and communities. Young people also report increasing difficulties accessing health care thus widening inequalities in relation to both mental and physical health.

This conference will present the latest evidence and recommendations on pertinent clinical topics providing you with key actions you can take with you to use with young people and their families in practice.

Topics include:

  • An overview of adolescent health
  • Adolescent sleep
  • Obesity in children and young people
  • Digital safety and wellbeing
  • Mental health for young people
  • Dermatology in adolescents
  • Sex, consent and safeguarding in adolescents

Conference Chair:

  • Dr Stephanie Lamb MRCGP, GP, co-founder, and Clinical Lead of the Well Centre
