Clinically Supported Weight Management

Our weight management consultation service connects you with an online weight loss doctor who provides professional, evidence-based support to help you achieve your goals safely and sustainably. Each weight loss consultation is conducted via secure video by an Irish-registered GP, offering guidance as per your medical history, lifestyle, and individual needs.

Depending on your assessment, your GP may discuss options such as self-injectable weight loss treatment, clinically suitable prescription plans, or personalised nutritional and fitness advice. If you are already following a prescribed plan, you can conveniently request a treatment refill through our online prescription service.

Important Note: This is a clinically supervised medical service, not a cosmetic or rapid-weight-loss programme. Consultations are suitable only for patients requiring clinical support for weight management.

Our service is focused on safe, gradual progress under GP guidance — available across Ireland with flexible appointments, including out-of-hours availability.

Frequently Asked Questions

What is obesity?
According to the World Health Organisation (WHO), obesity is a medical condition that is defined by excess body fat that may affect health and raise the risk of conditions. It’s typically assessed using your Body Mass Index (BMI), which helps determine if a weight management consultation may be beneficial. A weight management consultation with an Irish-registered GP can help you understand where you stand and the options available.
What is Body Mass Index (BMI)?
BMI is a simple calculation using your height and weight to estimate body fat. A BMI of 30 or higher indicates obesity, while 27+ with certain health risks may qualify for a weight loss consultation with an Irish-registered GP.
Am I a healthy weight?
You can check your BMI using an online calculator. If your results show you’re above a healthy range, it’s worth booking an online GP consultation for weight management to receive tailored medical advice.
What medical conditions are associated with being overweight or obese?
Excess weight can increase the risk of heart disease, diabetes, joint pain, menstrual health & PCOS, and sleep issues. A weight management consultation can help address these risks through lifestyle guidance and, where suitable, clinical treatments.
Can my mental health be affected by being overweight?
Yes. Emotional wellbeing can be linked to body image, motivation, and stress. Your online GP can offer supportive advice or refer you for additional mental health consultation if needed.

Weight loss can be challenging due to genetics, metabolism, stress, or certain medications. A weight management GP can help identify these factors and recommend sustainable strategies or treatments.
