Weight Loss Clinic
Have you thought about weight loss but you’d like the help of a specialist doctor who can guide you through the safest course with maximum support and results?
We offer weight loss programmes with two of our highly qualified doctors.
Dr Zara Mufti is based at our Bournemouth Clinic and Dr Lucy Freeman is at our Ashley Cross clinic in Poole.
Both doctors have a wealth of experience and are passionate in supporting their patients through the weight loss journey in the safest and most supported way.
Our comprehensive weight loss course
The doctor led course is designed to ensure you are starting the course in the safest way whilst also having the advice and support of a doctor to guide you through the journey.
There are two different weight loss methods and one is administered once a week. The doctor can help with the first one and then you can carry on at home.
The second method is daily, but you can choose the best time of the day to suit you. You do not need to coincide with meals or have an empty or full stomach.
The weight loss programme is made up of the following elements:
Initial blood tests
Blood test £72 plus a £45 phlebotomy appointment fee
It is important to carry out some essential blood tests to ensure it is safe to start the course. The tests will also provide a benchmark of certain medical markers in your body. If you decide to have a repeat test in a few months, you will be able to see how the markers have improved and how the injections are having a positive impact on your health. The blood tests are as follows:
- Thyroid Function
- Full Blood Count
- Hba1c (Diabetes)
- Cholesterol (HDL & LDL)
- Liver Function
- Kidney Function
Initial face to face appointment
40-minute initial appointment - £189
The doctor will carry out a thorough physical assessment and discuss the course with you. The assessment will consist of the following:
• BMI Calculation
• Body fat, visceral fat, muscle mass composition
• Diet discussion, personalised calorie intake recommendations and outcome goals
• Physical examination as a baseline before starting medication
The results of the above will be recorded and this will be used as the benchmark to monitor your weight loss journey.
The doctor will then have time to answer any questions you may have and also to show you how to use your medication pen or take the tablets.
Monthly follow-up apointments
10 - minute face to face follow-up appointments - £49
The doctor will check that you are tolerating the course and not having any severe side effects. Your body calculations such as weight and muscle mass will be taken at each appointment to provide a progress report. You can then decide with the doctor whether to increase the strength.
Once you have stopped increasing you can then have a 3 month maintenance supply before seeing the doctor again for a check up.
You can contact us at any time if you have any concerns or questions between your appointments. Our admin team are available Monday to Friday 8.30am till 5.45pm.
