Medical weight-loss treatment in Cardiff without travelling: video-consultation assessment, a private prescription valid at your pharmacy and continuous clinical follow-up.

Weight loss clinic in Cardiff: your online option

Cardiff is one of the major cities in Wales, with around 362,000 residents. There are clinics available, but the cost of in-person private medicine and the NHS Wales (GIG Cymru) waiting lists mean more and more patients are choosing the online route: a GMC-registered doctor by video consultation, a private prescription and continuous follow-up from the app.

Wegovy, Mounjaro, Ozempic and Saxenda all require a prescription. The right route in Cardiff is a genuine medical assessment — in person or online — never websites that promise delivery without a prescription.

How the online consultation works from Cardiff

  • Book your first consultation free from your phone or computer, with no travel.
  • Video consultation with a GMC-registered doctor: medical history, BMI and goals.
  • If appropriate, a GLP-1 prescription with a private prescription valid at any pharmacy in Cardiff.
  • Continuous follow-up in the app: dosing, side effects and adjustments without leaving Cardiff.

You do not need a GP referral from NHS Wales (GIG Cymru): the private online route is direct and legal.
