Weight Management
Your first appointment is a conversation about your weight history, eating habits, activity, and any health conditions or medicines. Together we agree realistic goals and a plan that may include dietary changes, activity advice, and where appropriate, discussion of treatment options. Follow-up appointments review your progress and keep the plan working for you. Get tailored pharmacy support close to home, without waiting weeks for a routine appointment.

Common questions
What happens at the first appointment?
We talk through your health, lifestyle, and goals, then agree a realistic plan. The first consultation usually takes around 30 minutes.
Is the service confidential?
Yes, all consultations take place in our private consultation room and your information is kept confidential.
How often are follow-up appointments?
This depends on your plan, but reviews are usually every few weeks to monitor progress and make adjustments.
Will I be given weight loss medication?
Not automatically. Where treatments are appropriate, we carry out suitability and safety checks first, and lifestyle changes remain the foundation of the plan.
How much weight can I expect to lose?
This varies from person to person. We focus on steady, sustainable progress rather than rapid loss, and will set realistic goals together.
