London Medical Weight Management
SmartWeight™
Are you ready to start your weight loss journey?
With guidance from our expert consultants, our programme has helped hundreds of people achieve their weight loss goals.
How it works
Weight loss medication is a key part of the programme, but we know that combining healthy eating and adopting long term lifestyle changes gets the best results. So, as part of the programme this level of support is available and we highly encourage you to make the most of it.
Before starting on any type of medication, it is always best to consult a doctor. This is why our expert consultants will support you on this programme to make sure:
- You get optimal results
- It is appropriate for you to start
- Medical contraindications are avoided
- You are aware of possible side effects and what to look out for
- Other medical conditions have been considered and managed
And because the overall wellbeing and safety of our patients comes first, there are a few extra steps we take before starting anyone on this programme, including a nurse assessment and blood tests.
Armed with these insights, our expert consultants will develop a highly personalised plan for you – giving you peace of mind that the medication is right for you and will be effective.
A comprehensive approach to weight management
We know that weight management has its challenges. This is especially the case if you have additional health concerns or pre-existing conditions that are associated with weight control, like heart disease, sleep apnoea or fatty liver.
This is why our expert consultants take a whole-body approach. For some, this might mean simply helping you manage your weight through healthy lifestyle changes and medication. And this change by itself can work really well.
However, for some people other health risks might be identified as part of the process. When this happens, our consultants would refer you to other experts to ensure you are managing both your weight and other possible health risks.
Within our clinic you will find all of the experts that can deal with the medical conditions that are often associated with weight control.
Programme details
There are different entry points to our programme depending on whether you are new, or further along with your SmartWeight journey.
If you are new to London Medical and have not seen one of our consultants before (in relation to weight loss) then an initial appointment will be your starting point.
As everyone is different results can vary. However, typically around weeks 6 – 8 you should start to see changes in your body composition. To get the best long-term results we recommend you progress through each stage of our programme while also forming healthy life long habits.

Added bonus when you join
You will need to purchase your medication separately as it isn’t included as part of your package. But when you join the programme, you get access to it at a discounted rate. Not only for the first month, but for the duration of your package.
To access the 18% discount, you simply need to purchase your medication from our in-house pharmacy – which makes this step hassle free as you can simply pick it up following your consultation.
We also know how valuable our add on services are to your weight loss journey, so are delighted to offer this same discount for seeing one of our dietitians or for the DEXA body scan.
