The majority of weight loss medications work by imitating the hormone responsible for regulating your appetite and making you hungry. Weight loss drugs are able to target your brain receptors, telling them you are full, which stops the food noise, causing you to want to eat less. People taking weight loss medication are able to stop eating when they feel full, without the cravings for snacks and larger meals.

We offer a range of drugs including Wegovy, and Mounjaro, which have all undergone extensive clinical trials before being approved for use in the UK. Our specialist team of weight loss nurses, clinicians, nutritionists, and diet experts work together to ensure that you are prescribed a weight loss drug that is right for you and your body and provide you with the support you need to access it safely. We know there is no one size fits all so offer a range of options and adapt our services to support weight loss in any form, whether that is weight loss medication, education, psychological support, or surgery. Take our quiz to determine which option is best for you and the level of support we recommend.

As a group of clinical specialists who work with the latest medical research, we offer a range of options to compose a holistic approach to weight loss. We we appreciate that a one size fits all approach isn’t effective, so our weight loss services are bespoke to you, giving you the best chance of success. Our clinical team and specialist nurses assess your individual needs and recommend a treatment that is safe, effective, and aligned to you specifically. Depending on your needs, we may be able to offer you a range of options including weight loss medication and surgery, fully supported by our specialist nurses, NHS based consultants, emotional wellbeing team, and physical and nutritional team. Whatever option is right for you, we are with you every step of the way, working in the background to ensure your treatment remains a safe and effective solution.

When you are prescribed a weight loss drug by our team, you will receive support around dosage and application, which will be determined by a professional following your initial assessment. Injectables eg. Wegovy come in colour coded pens according to dosage, so each time your dose increases, you will receive a different colour pen.

Before taking any weight loss medication, we ask you to complete our weight loss eligibility assessment to determine whether you are eligible, and the level of support you require from our experienced specialist team of clinical professionals. Depending on the package we recommend for you, a weight loss nurse will assess your needs and you will have the opportunity to ask questions of any of our specialist clinical team, as well as gaining access to our support forum and library of resources. You also have the option to book any additional support you require including meetings with a consultant, or therapy sessions.

The length of time you take weight loss drugs for depends on a number of factors including your weight loss progress, side effects, and suitability to the drug you have been subscribed. Your specialist team will monitor your journey to ensure you stay on best medication for you, for the optimum length of time.

As with any medication, there is the possibility of side effects. The most common side effects of weight loss drugs are nausea, vomiting, diarrhoea, heartburn, fatigue, and headaches. If you experience any side effects, speak to your weight loss nurse or a medical professional. You can learn more about side effects in our resource library.
