Weight-management support
for Skipton.
Confidential weight-management consultations for Skipton residents, with realistic goals, practical guidance and follow-up at our pharmacy in Gargrave.
A plan that starts with you.
Our weight-management service begins with a confidential conversation about your health, everyday habits and goals. We help you explore appropriate options and set a realistic plan.
Your first consultation
Discuss your medical history, medicines and previous approaches to weight management.
Your personal plan
Explore food choices, activity and appropriate support based on your assessment.
Your ongoing reviews
Review your progress and discuss concerns, side effects or changes to your plan.
What the assessment covers
- Height, weight, BMI and waist measurements.
- Medical history, current medicines and relevant health risks.
- Previous weight-management attempts and your personal goals.
- Practical support with nutrition, hydration and activity.
Personal assessment comes first
Treatment is never automatic. The pharmacist will assess clinical suitability and may recommend advice, further checks or referral to your GP or another healthcare professional.
