Weight Loss Management
During your initial GP appointment, you’ll have the opportunity to discuss your weight-related concerns, any previous weight loss efforts, and your medical history. We’ll take measurements including your height, weight, and carry out a bioelectrical impedance analysis – a simple, non-invasive test that helps assess body fat, muscle mass, and your basal metabolic rate.
Comprehensive blood tests will also be carried out, including a full blood count, and checks on liver and kidney function, bone health, diabetes risk, and thyroid function.
You’ll receive personalised guidance on diet, exercise, and lifestyle, tailored to support your long-term health and weight management goals.
You will need a follow-up appointment with the GP to review your results and discuss the different management options available to you. Where suitable, you may receive a prescription for one of the weight loss medications outlined below, as well as comprehensive counselling on how to take the medication and side-effects.
i – Mounjaro (tirzepatide) weekly by subcutaneous injection to be prescribed and collected from a local pharmacy or posted to your home. From £159.99 / month (prices may vary between pharmacies / depending on supply)
Ii – Weygovy (semaglutide) weekly by subcutaneous injection to be prescribed and collected from a local pharmacy or posted to your home. From £117 / month (prices may vary between pharmacies / depending on supply)
iii- Orlistat three times daily oral capsules to be prescribed and collected from your local pharmacy or posted to your home. From £29 / month
Monthly follow-up appointments are available by telephone or, preferably, in person to allow for accurate weight tracking and repeat bioelectrical impedance analysis with one of our healthcare assistants. During each visit, a GP will review any new symptoms or side effects and adjust your medication dose if needed.
Once a stable maintenance dose is reached, appointments can move to every two months.
You will need a follow-up appointment with one of our GPs after 3 months to review and measure your weight as well as to discuss any symptoms or side effects. A repeat bioelectrical impedance analysis will also take place.
