There is no single approach that is right for everyone. Your pharmacist will review your health, medicines, measurements, lifestyle and goals, then explain the support and treatment options that may be appropriate for you. Any prescription treatment is considered only after an individual clinical assessment.
A consultation gives you the opportunity to ask questions, understand your options and make an informed decision about your care.
If a prescription treatment is being considered, your pharmacist will assess whether it is clinically appropriate for you. The decision depends on your individual health profile and the relevant clinical criteria.
Individual clinical assessment
Where a prescription treatment is clinically appropriate, your pharmacist will explain how it is intended to be used, the expected benefits, important risks and what follow-up is required. Individual results vary.
Lifestyle, monitoring and follow-up
Weight management can involve healthy eating, physical activity, lifestyle support and regular review. Your pharmacist can help you understand the practical steps that may be appropriate for your circumstances.
Suitability: Eligibility depends on your individual circumstances and the criteria applicable to the service or treatment being considered. Your pharmacist will assess this during your consultation and may advise that a particular option is not appropriate for you.
Beyond the number on the scales, patients report wide-ranging improvements to their health and quality of life.
Your pharmacist can help you set realistic goals and explain that weight-management results vary between individuals.
Your health conditions and current medicines are reviewed as part of the consultation, with further clinical advice where needed.
Discuss practical approaches to eating, activity and sustainable habits that fit your circumstances.
Where appropriate, follow-up appointments can help review your progress, concerns and next steps.
Use your consultation to ask questions and understand the options discussed with you before making a decision.
We focus on support that can form part of a longer-term approach to weight management.
From your first free consultation to your next steps, we aim to provide clear information and appropriate support.

Some weight-management treatments are prescription-only medicines and are not suitable for everyone. Where a prescription treatment is being considered, your pharmacist will explain its authorised use, benefits, risks and how it fits alongside lifestyle measures.
Some treatment options may not be suitable if you:
Tell your pharmacist before treatment if you:
Side effects and risks. If a medicine is prescribed, your pharmacist will explain the relevant side effects, warning signs and what to do if you have concerns. Always read the patient information supplied with your medicine.
If treatment is prescribed, follow the instructions provided by your pharmacist and the patient information supplied with the medicine. Contact an appropriate healthcare professional if you have concerns about side effects.
Treatment is prescribed only following a clinical assessment by a GPhC-registered pharmacist prescriber, and only where it is clinically appropriate. Our pharmacists may advise that these medicines are not right for you.
