Weight loss clinic in Newcastle upon Tyne: your online option

Newcastle upon Tyne is one of the major cities in England, with around 300,000 residents. There are clinics available, but the cost of in-person private medicine and the the NHS in England 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.

In the UK, GLP-1 medicines such as Wegovy, Mounjaro or Ozempic are prescription-only. If you see adverts selling them "without a prescription" aimed at Newcastle upon Tyne or nearby, be wary: it is illegal and dangerous.

How the online consultation works from Newcastle upon Tyne

  • 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 Tyne and Wear.
  • Continuous follow-up in the app: dosing, side effects and adjustments without leaving Newcastle upon Tyne.

The whole process follows UK telemedicine and private prescribing standards, complementing the care you receive from the NHS in England.
