Doctor-led weight management
A doctor-led programme that starts with a consultation with one of our doctors, followed by a simple online check-in every 4 weeks.
How it works
- Initial consultation. A doctor reviews your medical history, records your baseline measurements and checks your suitability.
- Your personalised plan. If you are suitable, your doctor will discuss the treatment options available and agree a plan with you.
- Monthly online check-in. Every 4 weeks you complete a short online questionnaire about your progress. This is reviewed by the doctor before your treatment continues. There are no routine follow-up appointments.
Who it's for
Adults aged 18 and over with a BMI of 30 or above, or 27 and above with a weight-related condition such as high blood pressure, prediabetes or high cholesterol. Your doctor will confirm suitability at your assessment.
Already on treatment with another provider?
If you are currently receiving medical weight management treatment elsewhere, you can transfer to us. Book an initial consultation and bring details of your current treatment, such as your most recent prescription or dispensing label. If you have not missed more than two doses, we can usually continue your treatment where you left off. If you have missed more than two, you may need to restart from the beginning of the programme.
