Full clinical assessment

The clinician reviews your health history, weight and any relevant checks, then decides whether prescription-only weight-loss medication is clinically appropriate for you. This is a professional judgement, not a guarantee.

Questions people usually ask

Is this an NHS service?

No. The Weight Loss Clinic is a private service. Consultations and any medication supplied are paid for privately; this is not free or NHS-funded.

What does it cost?

The initial consultation is from £39.99. If medication is prescribed, its cost is separate and will be explained clearly before you agree to anything, so there are no hidden charges.

Will I definitely be prescribed weight-loss medication?

No. This is a clinical assessment, not an automatic prescription. The pharmacist or clinician only prescribes where it is clinically appropriate for you, based on your health history and the eligibility criteria above. If it is not appropriate, they will explain why and discuss other options.

Which medication will I be offered?

There are several prescription-only weight-loss medicines available in the UK, and your clinician will discuss which, if any, may be suitable for you at your assessment. We cannot guarantee that any particular product will be available or right for you, this is decided case by case.

Is it safe?

Any prescribing is carried out by a qualified pharmacist or clinician, following a full assessment, with monitoring and follow-up built into your plan. As with any medicine, there can be side effects, and it is not suitable for everyone, your clinician will talk you through this before you decide.

Do I need a GP referral?

No. You can book directly with McCanns Chemist. This service does not replace your GP, and the clinician will refer you back to your GP if that is the more appropriate route.

Do I need an appointment?

Yes, this service is by appointment. Book online for a set time, or call in, so you can be seen privately without waiting.
