WEIGHT MANAGEMENT SERVICE
ESTABLISHED 2017

This policy outlines how WLO Ltd (“The SkinnyJab”) manages requests for information from patients, third parties, and authorities regarding personal, medical, or service-related data.
1. Requests from Patients
Under UK GDPR and the Data Protection Act 2018, patients retain the right to access their personal data, including elements of their medical record.
We fully respect these rights and continue to provide data access in accordance with the law.
However, prescribing information relating specifically to weight-management medication (including drug name, dose, frequency, titration, duration and prescribing history) carries inherent safety considerations.
We have observed instances in which this information has been used to obtain concurrent prescriptions from multiple providers, leading to unsafe duplication and uncontrolled access to medication.
This represents a material risk to patient safety, professional prescribing standards and regulatory compliance.
To mitigate this risk, we no longer release prescribing information of this type directly to patients.
Instead, and with the patient’s written consent, we transfer the relevant information directly to another registered healthcare provider, pharmacy or medical institution to support continuity of care and safe clinical decision-making.
This approach aligns with responsible prescribing governance, safeguards against duplicate dispensing, and ensures that health professionals involved in treatment have full clinical context when assessing suitability and dose escalation.
The information may include:-
-
A copy of your health form or consultation record
-
A summary of medication prescribed
-
Order or delivery history
-
Clinical decision or communication logs
-
Confirmation of clinician assignment
