If you meet the eligibility criteria for Wegovy or Mounjaro and wish to have this medication to assist with weight loss, please book an initial remote Weight Management appointment (20 minutes) with one of our GPs (cost £100). This cost is chargeable whether or not you are eligible for the medications.
You will be asked to complete a Health Screening Questionnaire before this appointment, which will form part of your initial assessment.
Comprehensive Support: Wegovy/Mounjaro and Dr. Gillvray’s Lifestyle Program
If you qualify for Wegovy/Mounjaro based on this assessment – your clinician will then arrange a 30-minute face-to-face or video appointment for a physical health check to review your lifestyle and provide instructions on using and monitoring the medication. If blood tests haven’t been carried out within the past six months, these will be arranged as part of your assessment.
Studies show that achieving and maintaining a lower body weight is more successful when coupled with a robust weight loss support program. We are therefore delighted to offer all patients prescribed Wegovy or Mounjaro free access to Dr. Gillvray’s lifestyle program, which will include an exercise programme, nutrition tracking and advice, weight tracking, and habit support. This will be delivered through an online or app-based service and supplemented by weekly live webinars on health topics such as nutrition, stress, sleep, and exercise.
If you are unable to do this we would ask you to book a monthly telephone consultation with one of our doctors to review you. This is included in the price.
