Premium Programme · Oxford

Sustainable weight management. Supported every month.

40-min consult·Monthly face-to-face·Pharmacist-led

A pharmacist-led weight-management programme. A 40-minute initial consultation in branch, then a monthly face-to-face review with the same pharmacist for as long as you’re on the programme. No NHS waiting list.

— The Programme

A real relationship, not a subscription.

Weight management works best with structured clinical support. We meet you, every month, in branch — same pharmacist, same room. Most patients stay on the programme for 12–24 months.

40-minute initial consultation

Pharmacist runs through your medical history, BMI, weight-loss history, goals and contraindications. We discuss the right approach for you, together.

Monthly face-to-face review

Every month, in branch. We measure your progress, support side-effect management, and adjust your plan. Same pharmacist throughout — no rotating call centre.

Pharmacist-led care

If treatment progresses, decisions are made by a registered pharmacist who knows your history — not by an algorithm. We move at the pace your body can handle.

Private & confidential

Every consultation is in our pharmacy’s private consultation room, behind a closed door. Discreet from the moment you walk in.

— Treatment options

Two licensed options. Discussed in your consultation.

MediPill’s pharmacists may discuss MHRA-licensed prescription treatments with eligible patients during the face-to-face consultation. Treatment decisions are made together, based on your health profile, medical history and goals.
— How it works

From pre-screening to your first consult.

Eligibility is decided by a pharmacist before we book anything. Most patients are confirmed within one working day.

Pre-screen

Fill our 5-minute pre-screening form online. We ask about BMI, weight-loss history, medical conditions and any contraindications.

Review

A pharmacist reviews your answers within one working day. If you’re clinically eligible, we call you to discuss next steps.

Face-to-face

We book your 40-minute initial consultation at your preferred Oxford branch — Botley or Summertown — on a day that works for you.

— Step one · 5 minutes

Start your pre-screening.

A short online form covers everything our pharmacist needs to check eligibility. If you qualify, we call you back to arrange your 40-minute face-to-face consultation. Takes about 5 minutes. Reviewed by a UK-registered pharmacist. Decision within one working day. No charge for pre-screening.
— Questions

Things patients ask first.

Adults aged 18+ with a BMI of 30 or above, or 27+ with a weight-related condition such as type 2 diabetes, sleep apnoea or high blood pressure. Pregnancy, breastfeeding and a small number of medical conditions rule out treatment. The pre-screening form covers all of this and a pharmacist reviews every submission.
Most patients stay on the programme for 12–24 months to reach a stable target weight and form sustainable habits. We talk through a step-down plan together when you’re close to your goal.
NHS access for weight-management treatment is currently limited and gated through tier-3 specialist clinics with long waits. Private clinical consultation through MediPill gives same-day decisions after your initial 40-minute consult. Cost is the consultation plus any prescribed treatment — no subscription.
Scheduled weight-management clinics currently run at our Botley and Summertown branches. Pharmacist availability varies; we’ll match you to the most convenient slot when we call after your pre-screening.
Pharmacist-led weight management is clinical care, not a subscription. Monthly in-person review lets your pharmacist check your weight, blood pressure and overall wellbeing — and adjust the plan in real time. The same pharmacist throughout means continuity that a call centre cannot match.
Online weight-management services typically rely on questionnaires and remote prescribing. MediPill is face-to-face only. The same pharmacist meets you each month, in branch, in our private consultation room. Discreet, in-person, and accountable.
