Weight loss with the NMWLP

Our clinic is a Certified Partner of The National Medical Weight Loss Programme (NMWLP) — a clinician-led, SCOPE/CPD-accredited approach to medical weight management. The programme equips healthcare professionals to deliver safe, evidence-based care that combines lifestyle coaching with prescription treatments when appropriate, in line with NICE guidance.

As part of NMWLP, our prescriber is trained in the use of UK-licensed weight-loss medicines such as Wegovy, Ozempic (semaglutide) and Mounjaro (tirzepatide). Medication is never a stand‑alone fix: we focus on long‑term behaviour change, nutrition, movement and accountability, with safety and ethics at the core of everything we do.

Before you’re seen, you’ll complete a secure medical questionnaire covering your health history (for example thyroid, pancreas, kidney, liver and diabetes), mental health and any eating-disorder history, current medicines and allergies. We’ll record your height, weight and BMI, and ask about lifestyle factors such as sleep, activity, smoking, alcohol and hydration, plus a brief food diary and your readiness to change.

In clinic, our practitioner will review this with you, confirm measurements, explore your goals and motivation, and screen for any reasons certain treatments may not be suitable (for example pregnancy/breastfeeding or specific medical conditions). Together, we’ll agree a plan. With your permission, we will also inform your GP if a prescription is started to keep your care coordinated.

If you are suitable, we will create a personalised plan that may include a licensed medication such as Wegovy, Ozempic or Mounjaro (weekly injection), alongside a structured nutrition and activity programme. We will teach you exactly how to use the pen safely, starting on a low dose and gradually increasing this to minimise side effects.

You will have regular check‑ins to track weight, waist, appetite and wellbeing, and to review any side effects. We’ll adjust doses, share practical tips (for example, meal timing and hydration for nausea or constipation), and provide ongoing coaching and accountability so you know what to do between appointments. There are no guarantees of weight loss with any treatment, so we keep a close eye on progress and make changes when needed.

Our practitioner will review progress at key milestones. In line with guidance, if you haven’t lost around 5% of your starting weight after 12 weeks on the licensed maintenance dose, we’ll discuss stopping or switching treatment. If you’re responding well, we’ll agree how long to continue, when to step down and how to transition to maintenance.

Our focus then shifts to keeping the weight off: consolidating sustainable eating habits, building activity you enjoy, relapse‑prevention strategies and periodic review appointments. Should life change or you need extra support in future, we’re here to help you adjust your plan promptly and safely.
