We’re running a short research survey to better understand people’s experiences, views, and information needs around weight loss injections, sometimes referred to as weight loss jabs.
These medicines are increasingly discussed in the UK, but experiences of access, use, and support vary widely. The aim of this survey is to gather real-world insight to help improve how weight loss support and information are delivered.
The survey takes around 2–3 minutes to complete.

The survey is open to adults living in the UK who are aged 18 or over and who:
Are currently using a weight loss injection.
Have used a weight loss injection in the past year.
Are actively considering using a weight loss injection in the near future.
If weight loss injections are not relevant to you at this time, the survey will end early to respect your time.
Why we’re doing this
Back to contentsWeight loss injections are a rapidly evolving area of care, with differences in access through the NHS, private clinics, and online providers.
People’s experiences can differ depending on cost, availability, side effects, results, and the level of support provided.
By collecting anonymised responses, we aim to better understand:
How people are accessing weight loss injections.
What goals people are hoping to achieve.
What challenges or side effects people experience.
Where people first learn about these treatments.
What information or support feels missing.
This research will help inform future health content, tools, and support options in the UK.
