A structured consultation with a specifically trained pharmacist, covering your health history and goals, and a tailored management plan that may include prescription support where clinically appropriate.

Key benefits:

• A structured, personalised plan rather than a generic approach
• Access to prescription support where clinically appropriate
• Non-judgemental, ongoing guidance

This service may be suitable if you:

• Have overweight or obesity, as clinically assessed, and want a structured, personalised plan
• Would like to explore prescription support alongside general advice

This service is not appropriate for the management of eating disorders — if this applies to you, please speak with your GP.

Weight management plans are individually tailored, and recommendations may change as your circumstances and goals evolve.

Your pharmacist will assess your individual suitability, including your relevant medical history and current symptoms, before proceeding. 

This service is not intended for the management of eating disorders or urgent medical weight concerns; suitability is confirmed by the pharmacist at consultation. 

Ask your pharmacist for the relevant Consumer Medicines Information (CMI) if a medicine is provided.

Before Your Consultation

Be prepared to discuss:

• Your health history and goals
• Any previous weight management attempts
• Any medicines you are currently taking

During Your Consultation

Your pharmacist will discuss your health history and goals before developing a tailored plan.

The consultation may also include prescription support where clinically appropriate, alongside general advice.

How is this different from the general Weight Loss Assistance page?

This is a structured, personalised clinical consultation; the Weight Loss Assistance page covers general, everyday product advice.

Can I be prescribed medicine as part of this?

In some cases, yes, where clinically appropriate — this will be discussed with you at consultation.

Will I need blood tests before starting?

This depends on the treatment options being considered — your pharmacist will let you know if any tests are needed.
