What's in our programme?
At RH Medical Group, we provide a medically‑led programme designed to help you lose weight safely and sustainably.
Your care is delivered by an experienced Nurse Independent Prescriber, ensuring that every step of your journey is clinically appropriate, personalised, and fully monitored.
​
​Whether you’re beginning your weight‑loss journey or looking for structured medical support, we’re here to help you progress confidently and safely.
Our Process
Your consultation
We’ll invite you to book a video consultation with our Prescribing Nurse Practitioner, where you’ll discuss your medical history and weight‑management goals so we can agree on a safe, personalised treatment plan that’s tailored to your needs.
Tell us about you
Complete our consultation form, and our clinical team will carefully review your details to understand your weight‑management history and any relevant medical considerations. This helps us ensure your care is safe, personalised, and fully aligned with your goals.
Getting you started
You’ll complete our consent form and receive clear information about your prescription. Once everything is confirmed, we’ll arrange your medication and any required supplies to be delivered directly to your home.
Your Ongoing Care
We’ll check in with you weekly—or more often if you need—and you can contact us at any time via WhatsApp for advice or reassurance. Each month, we’ll review your progress together, agree on any adjustments to your medication, and provide clear guidance on managing symptoms or side effects whenever needed.
Medications we use
At our clinic, we offer a variety of medication options to cater to your individual needs. Below, you can find more information about the different treatments we provide. We are committed to ensuring that you receive the best care tailored to your health requirements.

​
How these treatments support weight-loss
GLP-1 (Glucagon-Like Peptide 1)
​
-
Released naturally after eating, helps regulate appetite and blood sugar
-
Slows stomach emptying, promoting longer satiety
-
Stimulates insulin release and reduces glucagon secretion
-
Used in medications like Wegovy to support weight loss and metabolic improvement.​​
​​
GIP (Glucose-Dependent Insulinotropic Polypeptide)
​
-
Works with GLP-1 to enhance insulin response after meals
-
Helps maintain energy balance and may reduce fat storage
-
When combined with GLP-1 (as in Mounjaro), provides appetite control and metabolic benefits
Dual GLP-1 & GIP action
​
-
Targets both receptors for amplified appetite supression
-
Improves blood sugar control and supports sustainable weight loss
-
Clinical studies show greater average weight loss than GLP-1 alone
