Private Weight Loss Injections

Are you struggling to lose weight, exercise, or eat healthily? Our private weight-loss medication clinic at Albyn Hospital is here to help you get back to a healthy weight and feel confident again.

The clinic is designed to help you lose weight safely and effectively, under the close care of a multidisciplinary team of experts.

Our specialist weight management programme incorporates the latest weight-loss treatment and medication to help you on your journey to a healthy weight. The programme is tailored to your weight goals, with a comprehensive assessment, personalised guidance, tailored treatment, and trusted support.

Our specialist and personalised programme is made up of several forms of support and medication to help you lose weight safely.

These include:

• Support from our Consultant Weight Loss Surgeon, Mr Shay Nanathakumaran, who specialises in the safe use of weight-loss injections
• Prescriptions for NICE-approved Mounjaro injections, if suitable
• Optional services from physiotherapy to support you through your weight-loss journey and personalised advice from a registered dietician

We always see patients face-to-face for an initial consultation to ensure we provide the most appropriate and tailored support and care.

Mr Shay Nanthakumaran will carry out thorough assessment, including a discussion of your overall health along with measurements of your height and weight. He will also ask personal questions about your diet and exercise routine, as well as your expectations for losing weight and embracing a healthier lifestyle.

He will take a holistic approach to your weight-loss journey, meaning taking into consider your physical, mental, and emotional wellbeing throughout. We care about your motivation for losing weight and why your weight-loss journey is important to you.

Your weight-loss programme will be built around these goals and motivations, so you can achieve outstanding, lasting results. Your weight-loss journey is not just about your physical appearance – it is about dramatically improving your overall health from the inside out.

The checks and measurements taken during your initial consultation will not only establish a baseline for your health journey but also determine your suitability for weight-loss medication.

Mr Shay Nanthakumaran can prescribe weight-loss medication during the initial consultation, if he determines you are eligible for it. You will have time to discuss weight-loss medication in detail at your appointment, including how to use the medication pens safely and how to manage any potential side effects. He can demonstrate how to administer the medication properly, ensuring you know how to use the medication pens before returning home.

You might have heard about weight-loss medication (sometimes referred to as slimming injections), including Wegovy, Mounjaro, and Ozempic, ahead of your consultation. At Albyn Hospital, we offer Mounjaro. This medication has been approved for weight loss by the National Institute of Clinical Excellence (NICE) in the UK.

If you have any concerns about weight-loss medication, you can share them with your consultant who will ensure you have all the information you need to feel at ease before starting medicated weight loss.

If you are considering bariatric surgery, our weight-loss management programme is an excellent and appropriate first step to losing weight ahead of surgery. You can discuss this in more detail at your initial consultation. Your consultant can answer any questions you might have about bariatric surgery and how to prepare for it in the safest way possible – often by following a specialist weight-loss programme led by experts.

Dietician Support: Following your initial consultation, your consultant may advise you to see a dietitian. This service is charged in addition and take place on a different date from your initial consultation. 

During an appointment with the dietician, Maria Dow, you will discuss your medical history, eating habits, activity levels, stress levels, and more. She will ask in-depth questions to better understand your daily routine and what might be influencing your weight. Maria will share expert advice on portion sizes, food groups, and general nutrition to support your weight loss. They will also help build your tailored dietary plan, which you can follow to lose weight in a safe and sustainable way.

Physiotherapy Support: You also have access to the physiotherapy services at Albyn Hospital. This service is also charged in addition and take place on a different date from your initial consultation and dietician. 

Your physiotherapist will assess your mobility and the impact of your weight on your bones and joints. They will explore your relationship with exercise and build a tailored exercise and lifestyle plan that will help you achieve your weight-loss goals. They will also provide practical, accessible exercise tips that you can easily incorporate into your daily life.

You will receive ongoing support from your Consultant Weight Loss Surgeon throughout your treatment journey. If you have any concerns or questions, you are welcome to contact your consultant directly via email.
