How we assess and investigate
The weight loss consultation is a comprehensive medical assessment covering BMI, body composition, metabolic parameters, medical history, current medications, and previous weight loss attempts. Baseline bloods include HbA1c, fasting glucose, insulin, lipids, liver function, renal function, and thyroid function. Blood pressure and ECG are recorded. Eligibility for prescription treatment therapy is assessed against NICE criteria (BMI ≥30, or ≥27 with weight-related comorbidity). Psychological readiness assessment ensures appropriate support is in place.
