Weight Management Clinic in Edgware
Reaching and keeping a healthy weight matters for your long-term health. Carrying excess weight raises the risk of a number of conditions, including heart disease, type 2 diabetes and high blood pressure. At Fairview Pharmacy in Edgware, our clinicians run a supportive, medically led weight management service built around your individual needs, because no two people start from the same place.
Our service combines a proper clinical assessment with practical, ongoing support. Where treatment is clinically appropriate, our prescribing pharmacist will discuss the licensed options available to you, alongside advice on diet, activity and the everyday habits that help the weight stay off.

Our medical weight management service in Edgware
Losing weight through diet and exercise alone is hard, and for many people it isn’t enough on its own. Our Edgware weight management service is designed for exactly that situation. After a full assessment of your health, your history and your goals, our prescribing pharmacist will talk you through the treatment options that are suitable for you and agree a plan together.
Everything is delivered under professional supervision, with regular reviews so we can check how you’re getting on and adjust things as needed. New licensed treatment options continue to become available, and our clinicians stay up to date so the advice you receive reflects current best practice.
Who the service is for
Our weight management service is aimed at adults who meet recognised clinical criteria and who would like structured support to lose weight. You may be suitable if you are:
- An adult living with obesity (BMI of 30 or above), or
- An adult who is overweight (BMI of 27 or above) with a weight-related health condition such as high blood pressure, raised cholesterol or sleep apnoea.
The best way to find out whether the service is right for you is to book a consultation at our Edgware clinic. Our clinician will check your eligibility as part of the assessment.
What to expect at your consultation
Your first appointment is a detailed conversation about your health rather than a quick sign-off. We’ll go through your medical history, any current medicines, your previous experience with weight loss and what you’re hoping to achieve. If treatment is clinically appropriate, your prescriber will explain the options open to you, including how they work, what they involve and any side effects to be aware of, so you can make an informed decision.
If you go ahead, we’ll agree a plan, arrange your follow-up and make sure you know how to reach us if you have questions between appointments.
Ongoing support and monitoring
Weight management works best as a supported journey rather than a one-off. We build in regular reviews to track your progress, manage any side effects and keep your plan on course. Just as importantly, we help you develop the diet, activity and lifestyle habits that make results last, so you’re set up to maintain your weight once you reach your goal.

Healthy weight tips
- Balanced diet: aim for a mix of vegetables, fruit, whole grains, lean protein and healthy fats.
- Portion sizes: keep an eye on how much is on your plate to avoid eating more than you need.
- Regular activity: try to be active for at least 150 minutes a week, whether that’s walking, cycling, swimming or something you enjoy.
- Stay hydrated: drink water through the day to support your metabolism and help manage appetite.
- Sleep well: aim for good, consistent sleep, as poor sleep can work against your efforts.

From there, your prescriber will agree a plan with you, which may include treatment where clinically appropriate, alongside diet, activity and lifestyle support and regular reviews.
