Ongoing monitoring
A real consultation first — every option, honestly.
Online weight-loss services can feel transactional — tick some boxes, get a parcel in the post. Ours starts with a real GP appointment and an honest conversation about whether treatment is right for you at all.
💊
Tablet-first
Treatment is prescribed only where clinically appropriate after your GP has assessed you, and its cost is confirmed before you commit.
🩹
Reviewed every month
A clinician reviews your weight, side effects and plan every month, by video or in clinic, and adjusts treatment where needed.
🩺
Your GP decides
Which option, if either, suits you is a clinical decision made at your first appointment — never a fixed menu.
1
First GP consultation — £90
30 minutes with one of our GPs. Full history, BMI, waist measurement, suitability assessment, and a clear conversation about benefits, side effects and realistic targets. If suitable, you leave with a prescription for the right option at the right starting dose.
2
Prescription if clinically appropriate
If suitable, your GP agrees a treatment plan with you and confirms the monthly programme cost before you commit. Prescribed treatment is dispensed by a registered UK pharmacy and delivered to your home.
3
Free ongoing monitoring
Monthly weight tracking, side-effect review, dose titration, and adjustments to your prescription — all included for the duration of treatment. You only pay for the medication, never the GP time.

Am I eligible?
You're likely eligible if at least one of the following applies:
- BMI 30 or above, or
- BMI 27 or above with a weight-related health condition (type 2 diabetes, high blood pressure, sleep apnoea, fatty liver, cardiovascular disease)
A first appointment confirms eligibility properly. If treatment is not right for you, your GP will explain why and discuss the alternatives. You only pay for the consultation, never for a plan you do not start.
The questions patients ask before booking.
What does the £90 first appointment include?
A 30-minute consultation with a GP covering your medical history, BMI, waist circumference, lifestyle and weight goals. The GP will assess suitability and — where clinically appropriate — issue a prescription. You leave with a clear monitoring plan.
What treatment options are there?
Your GP discusses every option — diet, activity, behavioural support and, only where clinically appropriate, prescribed treatment. The treatment and its monthly cost are confirmed at your appointment, never before.
What does the medication cost?
Any medication prescribed is charged at-cost — no mark-up. Your GP will explain exactly what each option costs before you decide. Free ongoing monitoring is included.
What does "free monitoring" mean?
For the duration of your treatment, follow-up monitoring is included at no extra charge — weight tracking, side-effect review, dose titration, and prescription adjustments. You only pay for the medication itself.
What are the side effects?
The most common are nausea, mild stomach upset and reduced appetite — most settle within the first 2–4 weeks. Rare but important side effects (pancreatitis, gallbladder problems, hypoglycaemia in people on certain diabetes drugs) are covered fully at your first consultation, and your monthly monitoring picks up anything early.
Will you write to my NHS GP?
Yes, with your consent. We send a written summary of your treatment and prescriptions to your NHS GP so your full medical record stays joined-up.
Do I need a GP referral to book?
No. The Vesey is a CQC-regulated private clinic and you can book direct.
What if I'm already on weight-loss medication elsewhere?
Bring your prescription, current dose, weight log if you have one, and a list of any side effects. The first appointment becomes a transfer of care — we'll continue or adjust the regimen based on the GP's assessment, and your monthly monitoring fee is waived going forward.
