Many patients are curious about what actually happens during a consultation before starting treatment. Knowing the structure in advance can help you feel more comfortable and confident. Below we’ve outlined the key stages of your appointment so you’ll know exactly what to expect.
Step 1 – Complete the “Am I Eligible?” Form
Your journey begins with our short eligibility questionnaire. This helps us understand your health background and ensures we only recommend safe and suitable treatment options.
Step 2 – Book Your Initial Consultation
You’ll then book a 30-minute video consultation. This is a one-to-one video session with a GMC-registered specialist doctor. Unlike some providers, every consultation is conducted by an experienced consultant endocrinologist.
Step 3 – The Consultation Experience
During your video consultation with one of our team:
- We’ll review your health history and current concerns.
- You’ll discuss your weight loss goals and lifestyle.
- We’ll explain evidence-based options that may be appropriate for you.
- We’ll answer your questions clearly and without jargon.
- This session is person-centred: your needs and safety are always the focus.
Step 4 – Personalised Treatment Plan
If suitable, your doctor will design a tailored treatment plan. This may include medical therapies such as Wegovy or Mounjaro, but only if clinically appropriate. Lifestyle and dietary support are also part of the plan.
Step 5 – Follow-Up and Ongoing Support
We don’t just meet once and leave you to it. After your first consultation:
- Follow-up appointments help track your progress.
- Email reviews provide regular contact and adjustments.
- Our clinicians offer ongoing advice and reassurance.
Why Patients Choose Us
Patients often tell us that speaking directly with a consultant gives them peace of mind. They value knowing their care is led by specialists, not general practitioners or non-medical staff.
