Guy's and St Thomas' NHS Foundation Trust has warned patients about fraudulent videos circulating on social media that appear to show its clinicians endorsing weight loss patches.

The hospital believes the adverts have been created using artificial intelligence. In a statement on its website, the trust said it is aware of multiple videos that falsely claim its doctors are using and endorsing these products.
