Frequently asked questions
Can I be prescribed weight-loss medication?
Where it is clinically suitable, yes. The consultation reviews your health and eligibility, and a prescription with a monitoring plan can be arranged as appropriate.
Do I need a GP referral?
No. You can book a weight management consultation directly, and we will keep your GP informed with your consent.
Are blood tests needed before starting medication?
Usually, yes. Baseline blood tests help confirm treatment is safe and appropriate for you. These can be arranged around your consultation.
Is this just about medication?
No. The consultation covers diet, activity and behaviour alongside any medication, so you leave with a rounded, personalised plan rather than a prescription alone.
When will I get my plan?
A written summary and personalised plan are issued within 24 hours, and your options are discussed fully during the consultation.
