How weight management at The Wellness works
A specialist doctor spends 30 minutes with you for £195, looks at your weight, your health and your history, and decides with you whether medical weight management is appropriate at all. If it is, the plan is built around diet, strength and habits, as NICE asks, and reviewed by a doctor every month. If it is not, you leave with the reasons and a plan that does not need it. £50 of the consultation is credited if you go on to a programme.

The evidence behind how we do it
At The Wellness a doctor sees you, explains what they find, writes down what happens next, and the same practice is there for anything that follows.
Results that nobody acts on are a known failure in outpatient care. A systematic review of 19 studies found that between 6.8% and 62% of laboratory results were not followed up, and missed results were linked to delayed diagnoses. Callen and colleagues, Failure to follow-up test results for ambulatory patients, a systematic review, Journal of General Internal Medicine, 2012
Seeing the same doctor matters. A systematic review found 22 studies of continuity of doctor care and mortality, and 18 of them reported lower death rates when patients saw the same doctor more often. Pereira Gray and colleagues, Continuity of care with doctors, a matter of life and death? A systematic review of continuity of care and mortality, BMJ Open, 2018

Ask a clinicianQuestions to ask before any weight management service
- Will a doctor assess me in a real consultation before anything is decided?
- Are blood tests included, or extra?
- How often will a doctor review me, and is that in the price?
- What support is there for diet, strength and keeping weight off?
How to read a weight management price
Compare the consultation separately from any programme, because what follows depends on what the doctor finds.
Check whether blood tests and reviews are included, because several services charge them on top.
