Weight Management
Led by world‑renowned gastroenterology and endocrinology specialists, our weight management service delivers a truly personalised, concierge experience. We match each patient with the most appropriate expert consultant, who guides them through a tailored programme combining advanced diagnostics, specialist assessment, and ongoing medical support—designed to help them achieve sustainable, clinically‑led weight loss.
What is weight management at Welbeck?
Our weight management service is a premium, consultant‑led programme that matches each patient with a leading gastroenterology or endocrinology specialist.
Designed around best clinical practice, the pathway provides in‑depth diagnostics, personalised treatment planning, and ongoing medical oversight to support safe, effective and sustainable weight loss.
We offer an integrated, premium pathway that can include GLP‑1 therapy when appropriate, alongside psychological support, specialist dietetic guidance, and personalised lifestyle strategies. This coordinated, whole‑person approach—overseen by your matched consultant—ensures a comprehensive and clinically grounded framework for long‑term weight management.
This service is particularly suited to individuals with more complex needs, including:
metabolic disease
fatty liver
thyroid conditions
diabetes risk
cardiovascular risk
The service is also suitable for preparing for bariatric surgery, and patients who’ve struggled with previous weight‑loss attempts and would benefit from structured medical supervision.
All assessments, treatment and follow‑up take place within Welbeck’s Digestive Health centre and Endocrinology centre, supported by our specialist nursing team.
Get in touch to arrange a triage call; same‑day and next‑day appointments are often available.
More information
Before you can book a consultation, our team will arrange an initial screening call. You’ll be asked some questions about your weight management goals, past medical history, previous weight loss attempts, any conditions you have, and current medications. We then use this information to match you to the most appropriate consultant for your needs.
Once matched with a consultant, we can book your initial consultation. At your first appointment, your consultant will review your medical history, record your physical metrics, and arrange diagnostic tests, which will all take place on the same day.
Tests may include:
a full blood panel
gallbladder ultrasound
abdominal ultrasound
thyroid ultrasound
multiparametric MRI with cT1 scoring (optional add-on)
Once all necessary tests have been performed, your consultant will review your results at a multidisciplinary team meeting, where they’ll discuss and devise the most appropriate plan for your treatment and ongoing care. Your management plan will then be delivered to you at a follow-up consultation.
Treatments and care that we may provide as part of our weight management service may include:
GLP-1 medication
consultant-led weight management and monitoring
dietetic support
psychological therapy
onwards referral for further specialist care
Side effects related to the diagnostic tests carried out are minimal.
If you’re prescribed medications, you may experience some side effects, such as gastrointestinal symptoms related to GLP-1 medications.
Your consultant will explain the risks and possible side effects of any tests and treatments they recommend, so you feel safe and confident throughout your time under their care.
As mentioned, you must undergo a quick and simple triage process in order to be matched to a consultant for an initial consultation.
Any other preparation is minimal. Your consultant will provide you with any instructions in good time before your appointment if needed. For example, you may be required to fast before having certain blood tests.
If you’re prescribed a GLP-1, your consultant will ensure that you’re monitored for side effects in line with guidelines.
If you choose, your consultant can also provide an ongoing service, which includes:
quarterly review appointments with your consultant
nurse follow-ups
blood monitoring
medication management
pharmacy support
Pricing varies depending on the package and length of care you choose.
Please note that this service is not covered by insurers, so it is only available to self-paying patients.
