Prescriber-led weight management in Southport

How our weight service works

Weight management works best when it’s supervised, personal, and honest. We begin with a full consultation — your health history, current medicines, weight, and goals. Our Independent Prescriber then decides, with you, whether treatment is appropriate and what the safest, most effective plan looks like. Some people are suitable for medication; others are better supported with lifestyle changes, and we’ll tell you straight either way.

Is it right for me?

Prescription weight-loss treatment is generally considered for adults above a certain BMI, or a slightly lower BMI alongside weight-related health conditions. Suitability is always decided during a clinical assessment — it is never guaranteed, and it isn’t suitable for everyone. Pregnancy, certain medical conditions, and some medicines can rule it out.

What treatment can involve

Where clinically appropriate, the prescriber may recommend a GLP-1 medicine (such as those known by the brand names Mounjaro or Wegovy) as part of a wider plan. These are prescription-only medicines that must be prescribed and monitored by a clinician — they are not something you simply buy. We’ll explain how they work, the possible side effects, and what monitoring is needed before anything is prescribed.

Ongoing support

• Regular check-ins to track your progress and how you’re feeling
• Dose reviews and adjustments handled by the prescriber
