The Role:

Oviva is seeking a highly motivated and patient-centered General Practitioner with a strong interest in supporting individuals with obesity to join our Weight Management Services. This is an exciting opportunity to play a key role in our expanding team, with the potential to transition to a permanent position if the service continues to grow as anticipated.  You will be a member of the consultant-led weight management MDT, delivering medical assessments and treatment; this includes the prescription of novel injectable obesity treatments, including Wegovy. The role will involve in-house liaison with other medical and non-medical members of the MDT plus acting as a point of contact for our primary care colleagues. 

Whilst prior experience in the prescription of GLP-1 receptor agonists (GLP1-RAs) is preferable, we will provide comprehensive training and ongoing supervision to ensure you develop the necessary competencies for safe and effective GLP1-RA prescribing and management. This includes training on clinical obesity management and the medications themselves. With success in this role, you could pursue further development opportunities within Oviva.
