Weight management · Clinician-led · In-person

Private weight management, done properly.

A GMC-registered doctor. An in-person consultation at our Whitechapel clinic. A treatment plan discussed only after proper clinical assessment. No remote treatment starts without an in-person medical review. No one-size-fits-all. No promises before we’ve met you.

What we check before discussing treatment

Every patient. Every time. We make sure this is the right service for you — safely — before we talk about any treatment options.

  • Your relationship with food A short, sensitive conversation so we can support you well.
  • How you’re feeling mentally Mood, anxiety, sleep, and any current support you’re receiving.
  • Pregnancy or breastfeeding If this applies, we’ll plan around it and still look after you.
  • Your medical history Thyroid, diabetes, heart, gallbladder or any other conditions.
  • Anything you’re currently taking Other treatments, supplements — so we can keep you safe.
  • Examination & blood tests Blood pressure, body composition, and blood tests where helpful.
Once everything is clear, we discuss your treatment options with you in clinic.

What this is

Clinician-led weight management — not a product.

Weight management is medicine. It needs a proper medical history, an examination, blood work where indicated, screening for conditions that might cause weight change, and an honest conversation about realistic options.

This service is built around clinical assessment first. Treatment options — including lifestyle support, dietary input, structured monitoring and, where clinically appropriate, medical treatment — are discussed only after we’ve assessed you in person.

In-person, in clinic

No remote treatment starts without an in-person medical review

How we work

Our clinical standards.

The weight management space in the UK is poorly regulated. Anyone can call themselves a weight loss provider. We are not that kind of clinic.

GMC-registered doctors

Every consultation conducted by a UK GMC-registered doctor — not a nurse practitioner, not a remote prescriber, not an algorithm.

In-person assessment

Initial consultation is always face-to-face at our Whitechapel clinic. Examination, measurements, and a proper conversation.

CQC-registered clinic

Registered with the Care Quality Commission (Provider ID 1-17189808454). Clinical room, appropriate equipment, proper safety standards.

Safeguarding-first

Eating disorder, pregnancy, mental health and red-flag screening before any treatment is discussed. Where this isn’t the right service, we say so.

Structured monitoring

Monthly reviews with weight, blood pressure, side-effect check, blood work where indicated. We track how you’re doing.

Honest conversations

If you’re not clinically suitable, we’ll tell you. If lifestyle alone is more appropriate than medical treatment, we’ll tell you that too.

The consultation

What happens at your assessment.

Initial consultation is 45 minutes. Allow an hour. There is no rush.

  1. 01

    Medical history & current health

    Past medical conditions, current health, family history, lifestyle, current treatments and supplements. A proper picture — not a 90-second form.

  2. 02

    Examination & measurements

    Height, weight, BMI, waist circumference, body composition where useful, blood pressure, cardiovascular check.

  3. 03

    Bloods where indicated

    Thyroid, HbA1c, lipid profile, liver, kidney function and other markers as clinically needed. Results within 24–48 hours via The Doctors Laboratory.

  4. 04

    Safety screening

    A sensitive conversation about your relationship with food, how you’re feeling mentally, pregnancy where relevant, anything you’re currently taking, and any medical history that needs to be considered.

  5. 05

    Eligibility assessment

    Whether this service is right for you. Eligibility for any specific treatment option is assessed individually — not a number-on-a-scale conversation.

  6. 06

    Treatment options discussed

    If you’re a suitable candidate, we discuss the full range of options — lifestyle changes, dietary patterns, structured behavioural support, and where clinically appropriate, medical treatment. Risks, benefits and realistic expectations covered.

  7. 07

    Written plan

    You leave with a written treatment plan, monitoring schedule, and clear next steps. We write to your NHS GP with your consent.

Why this page reads differently

You won’t find medication options listed here. That’s on purpose.

Under UK law — the Human Medicines Regulations 2012 — certain medicines cannot be advertised to the public. The rule exists because medicines aren’t consumer goods. They’re clinical decisions that need a clinician, an examination, and a proper conversation about your individual case.

Some private clinics ignore this. They name medications, promise outcomes, and turn what should be a clinical conversation into a marketing funnel. The MHRA, ASA and CAP have ruled against many of them in the last two years. The fact that it’s common doesn’t make it legal — or safe.

We’ve chosen to do it properly from the start. That means treatment options — including any medications that might be appropriate — are discussed in detail in clinic, with a doctor, after we’ve assessed you. Not on a website. Not in an ad. Not before we know whether they’re right for you.

Quiet confidence

If a clinic is willing to bend the rules on its homepage, ask yourself what else it’s willing to bend.

Being honest

What we don’t do.

These are the things some clinics do that we won’t.

We don’t prescribe without seeing you.

No first treatment ever leaves this clinic without an in-person consultation.

We don’t advertise medications.

Treatment options are a clinical discussion in the consultation room, not a marketing claim on a website.

We don’t treat without full screening.

Eating disorders, pregnancy, untreated mental health, certain medical conditions — these change the calculus and sometimes mean this isn’t the right service.

We don’t make outcome promises.

Anyone promising specific weight loss numbers before assessing you is selling, not treating.

We don’t do automatic renewals.

Each monthly review is a real clinical appointment.

We don’t do remote prescribing.

Video reviews for established patients only, after the in-person initial appointment.

Fees

Transparent pricing.

Consultation fees only listed. If treatment is clinically appropriate and you decide to proceed, any associated costs are discussed and agreed at the consultation — never before.

Frequently Asked Questions

FAQs.

What treatment options do you offer?

Treatment options are discussed at consultation, after a proper clinical assessment. We don’t advertise specific treatments on this page because:

(a) the right option depends entirely on your medical history, current health, and eligibility, and (b) under UK law, certain medicines can’t be advertised to the public.

What we can tell you is that the service is comprehensive: lifestyle and dietary support, structured behavioural input, and where clinically appropriate, medical treatment options that are licensed and evidence-based in the UK. We discuss the full range with you in clinic.

Am I eligible?

Eligibility for the service is assessed at consultation. We follow UK clinical guidelines and consider the whole picture — not just a single number.

If after assessment you’re not a suitable candidate for medical treatment, we’ll explain why and discuss alternative approaches.

Why in-person? Other clinics do this online.

Because proper weight management involves examination, measurements, and an honest conversation that’s harder to have through a screen. Because eating-disorder screening and mental health screening work better face-to-face. Because the General Medical Council expects a meaningful clinical relationship before medical treatment is started.

Remote-only weight loss prescribing has been the subject of several regulatory rulings in the UK in 2024–2025. We’ve chosen to do this properly from the start.

Do you screen for eating disorders?

Yes, every patient, every time. We use validated screening tools as part of the initial assessment. If we identify concerns, we discuss them with you and may recommend specialist input before any medical treatment is considered.

This isn’t a barrier to access — it’s safe practice. A history of disordered eating doesn’t automatically exclude you from the service, but it changes how we approach it.

Can I have the consultation if I’m pregnant or breastfeeding?

Medical weight loss treatments are not suitable during pregnancy or breastfeeding. We can still see you for a general health review and lifestyle consultation, and discuss a plan for after pregnancy or while breastfeeding.

Will you write to my NHS GP?

With your consent, yes. We send a brief clinic letter so your full medical record stays joined-up. If you’d prefer we didn’t write to your GP, tell us at booking — we’ll respect that, though it does limit shared-care arrangements.

What about side effects?

All medical treatments carry risk. Side effects vary by treatment, dose, and individual. We discuss the specific risk profile of any recommended option in detail at the consultation, and you’ll be given written information to take away. You’re reviewed monthly so any issues can be addressed early.

How long does the service last?

That depends on your clinical situation and goals. Some patients are with us for several months, others longer-term. We don’t lock anyone into a contract — each monthly review is a separate clinical appointment.

What if I’m already on weight loss treatment from another clinic?

Please bring full documentation of your current treatment, including prescribing letters, dose history, monitoring records, and any side-effects experienced. We’ll review and, if appropriate, take over care. We don’t routinely transfer patients from remote-only providers without re-assessment.
