A Structured, Clinician-Led Treatment Pathway
Our weight management service follows a clear, medically guided process designed to prioritise safety, individual assessment and ongoing clinical oversight. Beginning with a comprehensive consultation and medical review, your pathway includes structured follow-up appointments and regular check-ins to ensure your plan remains appropriate and aligned with your health needs. Each stage is focused on careful monitoring, informed decision-making and continued professional support.
1
Initial Consultation
Your first appointment is a 45-minute consultation where we’ll:
-
Review your health history
-
Record baseline measurements
-
Discuss your personal goals
Together, we’ll explore whether a medically-guided weight management plan may be suitable for you.
This is our chance to get to know YOU!
Next, in the same consultation, you’ll:
-
Have a telehealth consultation with our partnered doctor
-
Discuss whether treatment options are appropriate
-
Begin your plan and schedule regular reviews for ongoing support

Four Week Review
At four weeks, you’ll have a follow-up appointment.
This check-in helps us assess progress, answer questions, and adjust your plan if needed.
If it's going well, we'll touch base with the doctor via telehealth, who will authorise continuation of treatment.
3
Twelve Week Review
At twelve weeks, you’ll have a follow-up appointment.
This check-in helps us see how you’re going, answer any questions, and make adjustments if needed.
If all is going well, we’ll arrange a quick telehealth review with the doctor to continue your treatment.
4
Ongoing Care
As you continue, the interval between reviews may extend once your treatment is stable.
Throughout, lifestyle support and regular monitoring remain a central part of your care.
If a treatment option is considered appropriate, you’ll begin with an initial plan.
This early stage allows close monitoring of how you respond,including tolerability and any side effects.
You’ll also receive access to resources and ongoing support through the patient portal. Your clinician will show you how to access all the resources all in your initial consultation.
Considering Your Options Beyond a GP? Choose a Dedicated Private Consultation.
While many people begin by speaking with their GP, a dedicated private consultation offers a longer, structured appointment focused specifically on weight management.
At The Aesthetic Medic, your initial consultation is 45 minutes, allowing time for a comprehensive review of your health history, baseline measurements and personal goals. Because weight management is a defined service within our clinic, your care follows a clear pathway that includes medical assessment, telehealth doctor oversight where required, and scheduled follow-up reviews.
This extended, focused approach allows for thorough assessment, personalised planning and ongoing clinical monitoring designed to support informed decision-making and continuity of care.
