Main Information

Only doctors can prescribe anti-obesity medication, but other medically and non-medically trained staff may take medical background information before your consultation with the specialist. You may have subsequent appointments with a clinic nurse, or other practitioner, to monitor your progress, but the doctor is responsible for your medication and treatment, and altering the programme over time. The Obesity Management Association (OMA) is a self-regulating, professional association for Doctors, weight management clinicians, private clinics and those engaged in the provision of weight management solutions. OMA is the ethical voice of the obesity management private clinic sector. Look for this accreditation and a locally registered OMA member when choosing a clinic. Clinics offering weight management, weight loss services, including advice and treatment which may or may not include prescribed medicines (slimming pills) under the supervision of a registered medical practitioner are generally required to be regulated and inspected by a national, government regulator. Look for a clinic that is registered with the Care Quality Commission in England, Health Inspectorate Wales or Health Improvement Scotland.
