Medicated Weight Loss Programme

Step 1  

First, you will need to complete this online consultation form. This will help us to establish whether this medication would be appropriate for you. This consultation form will only take a few minutes to complete, and is encrypted and password protected to ensure your details are kept confidential. 

Step 2 

Your questionnaire will be reviewed by our Doctor and a consultation will be arranged to discuss your plan.  

Step 3 

If treatment is “approved”, we will take you through an informed consent process discussing risks & benefits, alternative treatments, potential side effects and how to manage these. We will carry out a full assessment of your medical history and BMI before a practical demonstration on how to use the pen takes place. 

Step 4 

We will prescribe your Wegovy or Mounjaro pen and show you how to self administer the weekly injection (each pen contains 4 weekly treatments). This is easy for you to do once we have shown you how to use it.  

Initially we will speak to you every week to check your weight and monitor your response to the medication.  

Once you are settled on the medication, we will check your weight once a month and continue to prescribe the correct dose of medication for your weight loss goals. A doctor is there for you every step of the way to support you in your weight loss journey. 

Many factors will affect your results, including your diet and fitness levels. On average people have lost around a stone (6.5kg) every 4-6 weeks.

We will discuss your options once you have achieved your target. Most people feel happy to maintain their lifestyle to manage weight regain. You do have the option of staying on a low maintenance dose to help with this.

By reducing inflammation, improving metabolic markers, and protecting key organs, these medications help support a longer, healthier, and more active life – addressing the root causes of many age-related diseases.

Yes. Both medications are clinically proven to deliver a range of health benefits that extend well beyond the number on the scale:

– Metabolic Health: Improved blood sugar control and reduced insulin resistance, lowering the risk of type 2 diabetes and metabolic syndrome.

– Cardiovascular Protection: Lower risk of heart attack and stroke, improved cholesterol, and reduced blood pressure.

– Reduced Visceral Fat: Targets central fat, which is closely linked to inflammation, fatty liver, and chronic disease.

– Lower Inflammation: Both drugs decrease systemic inflammation – a major driver of ageing and age-related conditions.

– Liver Health: Can reduce fat in the liver (NAFLD), lowering the risk of progression to more serious liver disease.

– Brain Health: Early evidence suggests potential neuroprotective effects, supporting cognitive function as you age.

– Mobility & Quality of Life: Sustained weight loss and metabolic improvements support joint health, mobility, and independence.
