Medical weight loss

Doctor-led weight management programmes with regular reviews and blood tests.

Offer medically supervised weight loss from your pharmacy or clinic. Patients are screened online against the licensed BMI criteria, their weight and photo ID are checked in your pharmacy, and a doctor prescribes where appropriate, with monthly check-ins and dose steps.

How it works

How the programme works

  1. 1

    Eligibility check

    An online questionnaire with BMI, weight-related conditions and safety checks.

  2. 2

    Weight check in your pharmacy

    Your team weighs the patient and checks photo ID, as UK rules require. The doctor can't prescribe until it's recorded.

  3. 3

    Doctor review

    A GMC-registered doctor reviews the answers and checked weight.

  4. 4

    Monthly check-ins

    Before each supply the patient reports their weight; the doctor steps the dose up when appropriate.
