Who Can Benefit From Medical Weight Loss?

You may benefit from GP-led weight loss treatment if:

  • You’ve struggled to lose weight through diet and exercise alone
  • You have weight-related health concerns (e.g. pre-diabetes, high blood pressure)
  • You experience emotional eating or find motivation difficult
  • You want professional guidance that prioritises health, not quick fixes
  • You are considering prescription-based options under medical supervision

FAQs

  • What is the most effective weight loss treatment?

    The most effective weight loss treatment is one that’s personalised to your body and health history. At SRGN Clinic, we offer GP-led plans that may include injectable treatments, nutritional guidance, and lifestyle support. Medical weight loss is most successful when it's supported by professional monitoring and ongoing care.

  • What is the NHS 12-week weight loss plan?

    The NHS 12-week weight loss plan is a free online guide that helps individuals make healthier choices through diet, exercise, and habit tracking. While it's a helpful starting point, some people need more structured, medical support — especially if weight gain is linked to hormones, metabolism, or other health conditions.

  • How to reduce weight fast?

    Safe weight loss should be gradual and sustainable. Rapid weight loss through extreme diets or unregulated products can be harmful. At SRGN Clinic, we offer medically supervised plans that support fat reduction safely, using injectable treatments and lifestyle changes, tailored by a GP to your individual needs.

  • What NHS medication is used for weight loss?

    The NHS may offer weight loss medication in certain cases, but this is usually limited to patients who meet specific health criteria. At SRGN Clinic, we provide private access to injectable weight loss treatment under medical supervision, following a full consultation and health review.

  • Can I buy injectable weight loss treatment at Boots?

    Injectable weight loss medications are prescription-only and cannot be purchased over the counter. They must be prescribed by a qualified medical professional after assessing your health and eligibility. At SRGN Clinic, our GP provides consultations to determine whether this treatment is right for you.

  • What BMI is needed for injectable weight loss treatment?

    Injectable weight loss treatments are typically considered for individuals with a BMI of 30 or above, or 27 or above with weight-related health issues such as high blood pressure or type 2 diabetes. A full assessment with our GP will determine if you meet the clinical criteria.

  • How do I qualify for injectable weight loss treatment on the NHS?

    Access to injectable weight loss treatment on the NHS is limited and usually requires a high BMI and a diagnosed weight-related health condition. Most people do not qualify through the NHS and instead seek support through private clinics like SRGN, where eligibility is assessed by a GP.

  • What qualifies you to be on injectable weight loss treatment?

    You may qualify if you have a BMI of 30 or above, or 27+ with certain medical conditions. Our GP will also consider your health history, current medications, and previous weight loss efforts before recommending treatment.

  • How do you get your doctor to prescribe injectable weight loss treatment?

    At SRGN Clinic, our GP will assess whether injectable treatment is appropriate based on your health, lifestyle, and goals. This is always done through a private medical consultation, where we look at your full history before prescribing any weight loss medication.

  • Who should not take injectable weight loss treatment?

    Injectable weight loss treatment may not be suitable for individuals with certain health conditions, including thyroid disease, pancreatitis, or those who are pregnant or breastfeeding. A full medical consultation is essential to determine whether this treatment is safe for you.

  • Can I ask my GP to prescribe me injectable weight loss treatment?

    Yes, you can ask — but most NHS GPs will only prescribe these treatments in very limited cases. At SRGN Clinic, we offer private, GP-led consultations where eligibility is assessed in more detail, and treatment can be prescribed if clinically appropriate.

  • Can I buy injectable weight loss treatment online?

    Injectable weight loss treatments are prescription-only and should never be purchased online without proper medical oversight. Buying medication without a consultation is unsafe and often illegal. At SRGN Clinic, treatment is only provided after a face-to-face GP consultation and ongoing review.
