Weight Management Clinic in Birmingham

As a private GP and weight management clinic, we can offer eligible patients clinically approved treatments and regimes. This includes diet and exercise programmes and injectable hunger suppressants. Firstly, we’ll book you a 15-minute consultation with one of our doctors or nurse prescribers to discuss your weight issues in detail.

You’ll then attend a follow-up appointment. During this appointment, your practitioner will weigh you to calculate your BMI and check your blood pressure. We may also take a blood sample to measure level indicators for cholesterol, liver, kidney and blood sugars.

If you qualify for injectables, we’ll prescribe Liraglutide (also known as Saxenda) at the discretion of a doctor, to be taken alongside your bespoke diet and exercise programme. We also provide Mounjaro, containing tirzapetide, and Ozempic, which contains semaglutide.

Weight management injectables contain receptor agonists which slow the speed at which your stomach empties. In turn, you’ll have reduced cravings, keeping you fuller for longer even though you are eating less. They can also improve your insulin sensitivity, which allows your cells to use blood sugar more effectively, reducing your overall blood sugar levels.

Weight management injections, combined with a nutritious diet and exercise plan, can help you to healthily achieve your goals. All this without developing an unhealthy outlook on weight management.

For more information about weight management injections, contact us today. Alternatively, you can book a consultation appointment directly through the booking form on our website. We put ethics and your safety far before profit. So any weight management treatments or services you may receive are subject to thorough consultations and complete evaluation.

Your medical history is influential in your suitability for weight loss injections. Information about medications you’re taking, surgeries you’ve had, and any current medical conditions is helpful to formulate a course of treatment.

It’s also a good idea to keep a log of the food you eat and the exercise you do in the weeks leading up to your appointment so we can decide on a healthy course of action. And finally, your family’s medical history, relating specifically to obesity, diabetes and heart disease.

First, you’ll have a consultation, where we’ll discuss your lifestyle and your goals and assess why your previous efforts were unsuccessful. We’ll then consider your medical history to rule out any biological reasons why you may struggle with weight management.

Once your consultation is complete, we’ll take weight and height measurements to calculate your BMI. We determine your BMI to provide a baseline measurement and ensure your weight management is working.

Then, we’ll conduct blood tests to discover your cholesterol and blood sugar levels and your liver and thyroid functions. These assessments will help us to develop a comprehensive weight management plan for you.

We’ll have follow-up appointments to keep track of your weight management and alter your plan to suit your goals better. Weight management is not one-size-fits-all and highly personal. So, a few amendments to your plan may be necessary to ensure you achieve your desired results.

Yes. Maintaining a healthy lifestyle is essential to seeing the optimal effects of weight management injections. With injections alone, the changes to your body will be slower, less noticeable and make you feel as though you’ve stagnated. Weight management injections work best when taken alongside a healthy dose of exercise and diet.
