Weight management
Weight management support is for adults whose weight is affecting their health and who may benefit from medical treatment alongside changes to diet, activity and lifestyle.
Clinician: Abel Getachew, UK-registered clinician (GPhC 2217107). Verify registration.
Common symptoms and presentation
You might consider this service if you've struggled to lose weight through diet and exercise alone, or if a clinician has previously suggested medical support could help.
How The Nelford Clinic assesses this
The online assessment asks about your weight, health history, current medication and any relevant medical conditions, so the reviewing clinician has an accurate picture before making a decision.
Who this service may be suitable for
This service may be suitable for adults who meet clinically recognised weight criteria and who don't have a condition or medication that makes medical weight-loss treatment unsuitable.
When online treatment may not be appropriate
Online treatment isn't appropriate for everyone - for example, if you're pregnant or breastfeeding, have certain medical conditions, or your assessment suggests you need an in-person examination first. Your clinician will explain if that applies to you.
Treatment approach
Where treatment is appropriate, your clinician explains the options, how they work alongside diet and lifestyle change, and what monitoring is expected.
Suitability and treatment are always decided by individual clinical assessment. A prescription is never automatic and is not guaranteed.
Safety and follow-up
Follow-up is arranged so your clinician can review how you're getting on and adjust the plan if needed.
