Weight Loss Consultation

Service Description

Before your appointment with GP Doctor, we’ll send you an online form to fill in. The GP will use this to help understand your medical history and weight loss treatment needs. During Consultation With a GP, you’ll have the chance to chat about your medical history. You'll also talk about whether weight loss medication would be right for you. The GP will check what your current weight is by asking you to weigh yourself in front of them. They will also ask you to provide your updated weight every four weeks if you go ahead with treatment. Weight loss medications aren’t suitable for everyone, and we prioritise the safety of our patients at all times. We only offer them in line with official recommendations for adults with a BMI over 30, or a BMI over 27 with weight-related conditions such as high blood pressure, heart disease or sleep apnoea. They are not suitable if you’re pregnant or planning to get pregnant. We will never guarantee a prescription of any medication until we have seen you and assessed whether it is the right treatment for you.
