A safe, honest approach

Your doctor will not promise quick results or a particular treatment. Some medicines used in weight management need careful assessment, monitoring and, often, in-person measurements, so a doctor may recommend that you see your regular GP or a specialist service. You will always be told the reasons.

Get ready for your consultation

Know your approximate height and weight (the BMI calculator on this site can help)
List your medicines, past illnesses and allergies
Think about what you want from the appointment

A calm, private space to talk

Many people feel judged about their weight. Online, at home, you can talk freely. Consultations are confidential and are not recorded.

Frequently asked questions

Can an online doctor prescribe weight-loss medication?

That is a clinical decision. The doctor will consider your health, risks and history, and may advise in-person assessment or specialist care first.

What is a healthy BMI?

For most adults a BMI of 18.5 to 24.9 is considered a healthy range, but BMI is only a guide. Your doctor looks at the full picture.

Is this for children?

No. If you are worried about a child’s weight, please speak to your child’s GP or public health nurse.
