Editorial review
Hospital weight-management programs operate within tertiary care. They see patients with severe obesity, often in the context of pre-surgical evaluation or complex comorbidities. Peptide medications are one tool in a multi-disciplinary toolkit that includes dietetics, behavioural support, and metabolic surgery pathways.
Strengths: highest level of clinical oversight, multi-disciplinary input, integration with the broader hospital system, and access to outcome registries.
What to look for: multi-disciplinary team listed, registered dietitian and psychologist input, integration with surgical pathways where appropriate, longitudinal follow-up.
