Consultant-led medical weight management (medical weight loss), tailored to your health and delivered by experienced UK Consultant Physicians.
When your body changes and previous approaches feel less effective
If your weight or body shape has changed despite continuing to make healthy choices, you’re not alone. Weight is influenced by many factors, including hormones, metabolism, health conditions and life stage—it is not simply about willpower.
Our medical weight management service is led and delivered by experienced UK-trained Consultant Physicians, providing personalised, evidence-based care to help you understand the factors that may be influencing your weight and address them. You’ll be supported by an experienced consultant throughout your treatment, with a personalised plan tailored to your individual health needs.
Following a comprehensive clinical assessment, and where clinically appropriate, your personalised plan may include licensed GLP-1 medicines alongside lifestyle support.
Expert care that puts you first
Weight changes can occur for many reasons, including age, hormonal changes, menopause, certain medications, underlying medical conditions and changes in metabolism.
Every patient’s circumstances are different. That’s why we don’t follow a standardised programme. Your Consultant Physician — a senior specialist doctor — takes the time to understand your individual circumstances.
Your assessment will include a tailored review of:
- Your weight history and previous attempts at weight management
- Changes in your body shape and health
- Your medical history and current medications
- Your lifestyle and personal goals
- Whether prescription medication forms part of the most appropriate treatment plan
Every recommendation is based on clinical assessment, with the aim of supporting informed and sustainable weight management.
Expert support at every step
Many people tell us they want more than just medication, they want reassurance, expert guidance and ongoing support from an experienced consultant they can trust.
Our service provides:
- Consultant-led medical weight management
- Access to a Consultant Physician throughout your treatment
- Personalised treatment plans based on clinical assessment
- Regular reviews and ongoing monitoring
- Evidence-based lifestyle guidance
- Adjustments to your treatment plan as your needs change
You’re not left to manage your treatment alone.
Understanding GLP-1 treatment options
You may have heard about GLP-1 medicines in the media or through others who have used them.
Licensed GLP-1 medicines are prescription-only treatments that may be suitable for some adults with overweight or obesity following a comprehensive clinical assessment.
If appropriate, your consultant will discuss the available treatment options, including their potential benefits, limitations and suitability for your individual circumstances.
Is this programme right for you?
You may benefit from a consultation if:
- Your weight has continued to increase despite previous efforts
- Your body shape has changed in ways that concern you
- You are finding it harder to manage your weight than before
- You are seeking structured medical support rather than another diet
- You would like to understand whether prescription treatment may be appropriate
A consultation does not guarantee treatment or prescribing. Any recommendations will be based on a full clinical assessment of your health and circumstances.

FAQs
There is no single treatment that is suitable for everyone. The most appropriate option depends on your medical history, BMI, certain metabolic risk factors, existing health conditions, previous treatments and clinical assessment.
Your consultant will discuss the potential benefits, limitations and risks of each option before recommending any treatment.
Many weight management services follow a standardised treatment protocol for everyone. At Xvera Medical, every patient is assessed by an experienced UK Consultant Physician.
Consultant Physicians undergo many years of intensive specialist postgraduate training and have extensive experience in managing complex, interconnected health conditions, not simply prescribing medication. That depth means your care looks at the full picture: how your weight interacts with your broader health, not just the number on the scale.
For us, effective weight management is about more than prescribing medication. It’s about delivering comprehensive medical care that supports your long-term health, helping you achieve sustainable improvements in both your weight and your overall wellbeing.
