Company description
The Slimming Clinic (TSC) was founded in 1984 and in 2024 we will celebrate our 40th Anniversary. The Slimming Clinic is proud to be the UK’s largest provider of private non-surgical medical weight management solutions, specialising in doctor-led and patient-centred online weight loss programmes for those with overweight or obesity. Our aim is supporting those with overweight and obesity to with a weight loss diet, exercise and lifestyle behavioural changes alongside the use of pharmacotherapy, to improve their health, well-being and reduce weight-related risk factors. Our weight loss doctors advise patients on realistic and achievable dietary and lifestyle changes which are reviewed and adjusted weekly as the patient progresses. Any prescription medication is also reviewed for toleration and efficacy. Dependent on the treatment programme chosen by the patient, their care will be overseen by a doctor plus the additional multi-disciplinary practitioners. Our online weight loss programmes are suitable for patients with a BMI 24.9-26.9, however the addition of prescription medication to the treatment programme is only for clinically suitable patients with a BMI of over 27. We have no upper limit of BMI we can treat. We can prescribe to any patient with a qualifying BMI from the age of 18 years upwards. Through the variety of prescription medication we offer, we can treat patients up to the age of 75 years if deemed medically suitable by our medical team. We believe that weight loss programmes should be accessible to anyone, that is why we offer a variety of weight loss medications, programme lengths and methods of purchase. Starting with an appointment with one of our Doctors means that you are spending time with a true weight loss professional. This is the best way to get a personalised medication-based programme. Our new Online Prescription Request is the fastest way to request a clinician to review your suitability of weight loss treatment with any of our available weight loss medications. Using this route you can build your own personalised weight loss programme, anytime 24/7.
