Health & Wellbeing
By Nathan Birdsall
Established in 1987, Weightmedics operates in Richmond, Victoria, Chingford, Uxbridge, Marylebone and Birmingham. We are a group of Doctor led, private medical clinics, specialising in weight loss and weight management. Weightmedics have helped thousands of patients to lose weight and therefore reducing their risks of developing type two diabetes, heart disease and obesity.
Weightmedics provides weight loss programmes with a difference, tailored to each person and led by Doctors specialising in weight loss. Weightmedics is monitored and regulated by the Care Quality Commission.
With a wide range of products to help, depending on each person’s lifestyle. These include:
- Prescribed medication to reduce hunger
- Prescribed medication to block absorption or fat supplements to aid slimming
- A wide range of high protein products to further promote weight loss
- Body compositions to evaluate body mass and monitor weight loss
- CoolSculpting (FDA approved Fat Freezing) consultations and treatments
We are very pleased to say that most of our new patients come to the clinic because of positive feedback from friends and family who have visited us before.
Contrary to what you might believe from the newspapers and the bestselling diet books, there is no ‘one size fits all’ solution to managing weight. It depends on a range of factors including your age, gender, build, genetic background, lifestyle and medical history.
When choosing to reduce your weight you make one of the most important decisions of your life. With our help and support, you now have the means of reaching your target weight and to make a permanent change to your eating and lifestyle so you can maintain that weight in the long term.
Our aim is to ensure that we provide the highest standard of care and service to our patients. We are proud to say that our Richmond branch became one of the first clinics in the country to achieve registration under the Healthcare Commission’s tough new National Care Standards in December 2004. These standards require us to follow a rigorous set of procedures including asking for certain information from you, and ensuring that you are given all the information you need to understand the treatment we are providing. In complying with these standards, we seek to ensure that:
- Our staff are highly experienced to carry out their role and fully trained in weight loss
- Patient feedback is regularly and routinely requested, recorded, reviewed and where appropriate, acted upon
- All our main practice procedures are documented
- The procedures are designed with patient care as the central theme
- Procedures are reviewed periodically and improved as required
- In addition, we are leading members of the Obesity Management Association, a registered charity established to regulate the private slimming sector and promote the medical study and treatment of obesity
We offer FREE consultations at all our clinics, including late evenings and Saturday appointments being available. Find out more at http://www.weightmedics.co.uk/ or we would love to speak to you on 0208 3321 019 to start helping you achieve your weight loss goals.
