About weight loss

Our weight loss service starts with a confidential consultation to review your weight, health and any medicines you take. Together we agree a plan that suits you.

Where clinically appropriate, your plan may include prescription weight loss medication, alongside practical advice on eating, activity and building habits that last, with regular check-ins to track your progress.

Who it is for

  • Adults who want structured, medically supervised support to lose weight
  • Usually people with a BMI of 30 or more, or 27 or more with a weight related health condition
  • Eligibility is always confirmed by a pharmacist

How it works

  1. Book online and complete the health pre-screen
  2. Attend a consultation, including a weight and height check
  3. Start your plan with ongoing reviews and support

Good to know

  • Weight loss medication is not suitable for everyone, including during pregnancy or breastfeeding and with some medical conditions.
  • We may ask for your consent to share information with your GP.
  • Your plan is reviewed regularly to make sure it remains safe and effective.

Related services

Private services involve a consultation with a pharmacist. Treatment is only supplied where it is safe and clinically appropriate, and not everyone will be suitable. Fees apply and are shown when you book. If you feel very unwell, call NHS 111, or 999 in an emergency.

Weight Loss questions

Common questions

Will I definitely be prescribed medication?
