Independent pharmacy in Edgware
A supportive, medically led service built around your individual needs.
Carrying excess weight raises the risk of a number of conditions, including heart disease, type 2 diabetes and high blood pressure. Our clinicians run a supportive, medically led weight management service built around your individual needs.
Our service combines a proper clinical assessment with practical, ongoing support. Where treatment is clinically appropriate, our prescribing pharmacist will discuss the licensed options available, alongside advice on diet, activity and habits that help the weight stay off.
After a full assessment of your health, history and goals, our prescribing pharmacist will talk you through suitable treatment options and agree a plan together.
We go through your medical history, current medicines, previous experience and what you're hoping to achieve.
Your prescriber explains the options open to you, including how they work and any side effects.
We agree a plan, arrange your follow-up and make sure you know how to reach us.
Regular reviews track your progress, manage side effects and keep your plan on course.
It starts with a clinical consultation to assess your health, eligibility and goals. Your prescriber then agrees a plan with you, which may include treatment where appropriate, alongside diet, activity and lifestyle support and regular reviews.
It's aimed at adults living with obesity, or who are overweight with a weight related health condition. A consultation confirms whether it's suitable for you.

This varies from person to person depending on your plan and how closely you stick to it. Many people notice changes within the first few months, with reviews to check progress.
The aim is lasting change, not a quick fix, with as much emphasis on diet, activity and habits as on treatment itself.
