Well has expanded its private weight management offering to include in-person appointments involving a 20-minute health consultation.

The ‘new format’ for weight consultations, which is available across Well branches UK-wide, involves an assessment of suitability for treatment as well as a review of relevant health information, with BMI, heart rate and blood pressure checked. 

“As part of the consultation, customers will have their BMI, heart rate and blood pressure checked and will be able to discuss their wider health goals, lifestyle and weight-management journey with a Well pharmacist,” said the chain.

Patients “may be able to access support on the same day” following their face-to-face consultation, said the company.

The company said: “The addition of new service formats means customers can now access a broader range of clinically assessed support through Well’s weight-management service, depending on what is appropriate for them following consultation.”

The service can also be accessed online, where candidates for treatment are assessed for suitability through a video consultation.
