Our weight management clinic
Our nurse-led weight management clinic offers individual assessment and ongoing support. We take time to understand your health, previous experiences and goals, then discuss an approach that fits your circumstances.
Why seek weight-management support?
Weight can be influenced by health, medicines, appetite, everyday routines and other factors. If you would like support, a consultation can help identify realistic changes and whether further clinical treatment or referral is appropriate.
- Discuss your health, goals and previous attempts to manage weight
- Receive support with nutrition, lifestyle and sustainable habits
- Review progress and wellbeing over time
What to expect at your appointment
- At your first appointment we discuss your medical history, current medicines, lifestyle and goals, and take relevant measurements.
- We assess which options are appropriate, explain their benefits and limitations, and agree a personalised plan. No particular treatment is guaranteed.
- Regular reviews consider progress, tolerability and overall wellbeing. The plan can change as your needs change.
Progress and ongoing support
Weight management takes time and the pattern of progress differs for each person. The focus is on achievable changes and habits that can be maintained. Your consultation includes discussion of review arrangements, costs and the support available.
Suitability and risks
Treatment choices depend on your health, current medicines and individual risk factors. A qualified prescriber must assess suitability for any prescription option. If a medicine is proposed, its specific side effects, interactions and monitoring will be explained before you decide.
Frequently asked questions
What should I bring to my first appointment?
Bring details of your medicines, relevant medical history and any previous weight-management treatments. Think about the support you would find helpful and the goals you want to discuss.
How long will I need support?
There is no fixed duration for everyone. Your plan and review schedule will reflect your needs, progress and wellbeing.
Does an appointment mean I will receive medication?
No. A consultation assesses suitable options. Medication is only considered when clinically appropriate, and lifestyle support remains part of weight management.
