Weight Management Service

Every weight loss journey is unique — and we’re here to support yours.

Our private weight management service provides prescription weight loss injections, supplied safely and professionally through face-to-face consultations. You’ll be supported throughout your journey by our trained pharmacy staff, who will help you make meaningful, sustainable changes to your lifestyle — including nutrition, physical activity, and behaviour.

When it comes to the medication, our Independent Prescribing Pharmacist will carry out a clinical assessment, ensure the treatment is safe and appropriate for you, and supply your injection if suitable.

With regular check-ins, goal setting, and trusted guidance from our team, we focus not just on weight reduction but on improving your overall health and wellbeing every step of the way.

Our weight management service is available to individuals who meet the following criteria:

BMI over 30, or
BMI over 27 with an underlying health condition such as cardiovascular disease, high blood pressure, high cholesterol or sleep apnoea.

If your BMI is over 40, we’ll refer you to a specialist NHS weight management service, as more intensive support is likely to be needed.

The first step in our pre-assessment form is to calculate your BMI. For this, we’ll need your weight in kilograms (kg) and height in centimetres (cm). We’ll also ask for your waist circumference to better understand your health risk profile, beyond just your weight and height. If you don’t have access to scales or a tape measure at home, feel free to visit your local Davidsons Chemist — our team will be happy to help take these measurements for you.

How the service works:

1

Complete Pre-Assessment Form

The first step in the pre-assessment is to calculate your BMI. This helps check whether you're eligible for treatment. If you don’t meet the criteria, you won’t need to complete the rest of the form, and we’ll guide you towards more suitable support.

We’ll review and respond

We’ll carefully review your assessment form to check if you’re eligible for the medications we can provide. You’ll be contacted with the outcome — and if you're suitable, we’ll then invite you to a face-to-face consultation at one of our participating pharmacies.

Your Personalised Consultation

At your appointment, you’ll meet our pharmacist and trained support team, who will guide you throughout your journey. We’ll carry out final health checks, gather any additional information needed, and work with you to set realistic, achievable goals. If appropriate, we’ll then supply your prescribed medication and explain how to use it safely. While our pharmacist focuses on ensuring the medication is safe, effective, and right for you, our support staff are here to help you build sustainable habits around nutrition, physical activity, and behaviour change — supporting your progress every step of the way.

Ongoing Support

Throughout your treatment, we’ll check in with you regularly to monitor your progress, weight change, and overall wellbeing. During the first four weeks, we’ll carry out weekly check-ins (either by phone or in person) to ensure you’re settling into treatment and receiving the support you need. After that, you’ll attend face-to-face consultations every four weeks, where we’ll review your progress, assess whether the treatment is effective, and provide your repeat supply if appropriate. Treatment is typically evaluated over 3 to 4 months to ensure it's achieving the desired results — keeping you supported, safe, and on track toward your goals.
