Your goals, the timeframe you are hoping for, and whether those expectations look realistic and safe.

Next-step planning
What we may cover
What happens after the first consultation, what further information may be needed, and when another service may be more appropriate.

We’ll aim to leave you with a clear next step, whether that is pharmacy support, monitoring, lifestyle focus, or signposting.
Important note
If the service is not suitable, we may advise you to speak to your GP or another healthcare service instead.
Who it is for
Weight Loss Support may suit adults who want professional guidance, a clearer understanding of suitability, or a safer plan for approaching weight management with pharmacy support.
The service is not suitable for everyone, and the pharmacy team will assess whether pharmacy-led support is appropriate or whether another healthcare route would be safer.
What to expect or what we may ask
- Your height, weight, BMI, and weight loss goals where relevant
- Current medicines, medical history, and allergies
- Relevant lifestyle information such as routine, diet, and activity
- Any previous support or treatment you have already tried
- Other health information that may affect suitability or next-step advice
