Saxenda Training Course Authorised by Hamilton Fraser

Way back at the beginning of the coronavirus lockdown, I recommended medically led clinics should review the free weight management course provided by ECG training and sponsored by Novo Nordisk, the manufacturers of Saxenda™.

This was due to the potential market opportunity in this sector, and the fact that the free course provided a good background for medical practitioners to explore the role of Saxenda for weight management as an additional new revenue stream that requires little capital expenditure to launch as a new service.

Some practitioners, however, have found it difficult to find insurance cover for Saxenda, so I talked to Mark Copsey, Associate Director of the Healthcare Division at Hamilton Fraser and Sophie McKracken – Clinical Development Manager at ECG training about Saxenda training and insurance cover.

In this 25-minute webinar we cover:

• Details around the free online ECG weight management training course and why they have seen a recent increase in demand from medical practitioners during lockdown
• Advice concerning Saxenda and remote consultations and insurance cover for video consultations
• Why Hamilton Fraser decided to provide insurance cover for Saxenda and why they insist that the ECG training course has been completed to qualify for insurance
• The premiums customers should expect to pay to add this to their current insurance with an existing policy, or as a stand-alone service.
• Why Saxenda is the only injectable weight loss medication licenced for the treatment of obesity that Hamilton Fraser currently insure.
