Olivier Picard

Olivier Picard is the chair of the National Pharmacy Association (NPA) in the UK, where he has been a vocal advocate for the responsible distribution of weight loss medications. Recently, he highlighted the unsustainable demand for weight loss drugs like Wegovy and Mounjaro, warning that the increasing number of users may lead to supply shortages. Picard emphasizes the importance of prioritizing these medications for those who are clinically overweight, rather than for individuals simply seeking cosmetic weight loss solutions. He is an influential figure in discussions surrounding healthcare access and the role of pharmacists in managing the obesity crisis.
