Weight management
Medically-guided weight loss, including eligibility assessment for weight-loss medication.
In short
A private GP can assess whether weight-loss medication (such as GLP-1 injections) is clinically appropriate for you, and support a safe, monitored plan alongside diet and lifestyle. Medication is only prescribed where it's suitable and safe.

FAQ
Common questions about weight management
Am I eligible for weight-loss injections?
Eligibility is based on your BMI and health, following clinical criteria. A GP will assess you and only prescribe where it's clinically appropriate and safe. We'll be honest if it isn't right for you.
Is the medication safe?
Weight-loss medications are prescription medicines with real benefits and potential side effects. That's why they need proper assessment, monitoring, and review, not just a quick online order.
Will medication alone do it?
No. Medication works best alongside changes to diet, activity, and habits. We support the whole picture, not just a prescription.
How does the consultation work?
Book a consultation, we assess your eligibility and health, and if medication is appropriate we arrange it with follow-up. If it isn't, we'll advise on what will help.
