Medical weight loss clinic
We're here to help support you on your weight loss journey.
What treatments do you offer?
The Medical Weight Management clinic offers the treatment Wegovy (also known as Semaglutide) or Mounjaro (also called Tirzepatide), which is an injectable prescription that contributes to weight loss. It is used for adults who are overweight or obese.
How does Wegovy work?
Wegovy acts on the signals on the brain called appetite hormones which regulate how much food you can eat. Once injected into the body, Wegovy acts by reducing your appetite and increasing the feeling of fullness, so that you eat less. It is commonly used for people living with diabetes as it also releases insulin when blood sugar levels are high, therefore reducing blood sugar.
How often do I need treatment?
Both Wegovy and Mounjaro are most effective when taken weekly.
Can I refer myself?
Yes, you do not need to be referred by another healthcare professional.
Can anyone have treatment?
We can only treat patients over 18. There is no BMI limit however you will need to be assessed by Mr Van Den Bossche before any treatment can be commenced so he can determine if you are suitable.
What is the cost?
The cost of a consultation with Mr Van Den Bossche is:
- New appointment £225
During your appointment we'll provide you with a prescription for your first month of treatment. This is a separate charge and payable directly to the pharmacy.
These treatments are not covered by the States contract, so either you or your health insurer will need to cover the costs. Always check first with your health insurer whether your policy covers this treatment and obtain a pre-authorisation code.
