Important information for UK consumers. This article is general patient information about the cost framework of a UK private weight-management consultation. It is not an advertisement, not an offer of sale, and not medical advice. UK regulations restrict the advertising of prescription medicines to the public, so this article does not list prescription-medicine prices.
In short
Service-level cost components
A UK private weight-management consultation can involve several service-level cost components. Ask any provider for a written breakdown before paying.
| Cost component | What it covers | Who charges it |
|---|---|---|
| Consultation fee | Clinical assessment by a UK-registered prescriber. | Prescriber (GP, specialist or telehealth service). |
| Prescription / clinical-assessment fee | Decision about whether prescription treatment is appropriate. | Prescriber. |
| Pharmacy dispensing fee | Supply of any prescribed medicine, including cold-chain handling. | GPhC-registered dispensing pharmacy. |
| Follow-up review fee | Ongoing clinical review during treatment. | Prescriber. |
| Programme model fee | Some telehealth services bundle several of the above into one monthly fee. | Telehealth service operator. |
| Adjacent costs | Blood tests, pathology, specialist referrals, dietitian input. | Various. |
Indicative aggregate UK service-cost ranges for the consultation and monitoring components combined are around £25–£100 per month, depending on provider and programme model. This excludes the cost of the medicine itself, which is priced separately by the dispensing GPhC-registered pharmacy and is not displayed on TreatCompare’s consumer pages.

Methodology: This article describes the service-level cost components of a UK private weight-management consultation. It does not display UK prescription-medicine prices and does not pair a POM brand with a price. The medicine itself is priced by the dispensing GPhC-registered pharmacy and is a clinical decision for a UK-registered prescriber after a consultation. Service-cost ranges are indicative and may exclude pathology, specialist referrals and dietitian input.
Lower-cost weight-loss injection route
If you are looking for a lower-cost route, start with the parts you can compare safely: NHS eligibility, consultation fees, follow-up review fees, dispensing and delivery charges, blood tests, sharps-bin supply and cancellation terms. Do not compare only a headline monthly figure; ask what is excluded and whether the provider uses a GPhC-registered dispensing pharmacy.

NHS context
GLP-1 weight-management medicines are recommended by NICE under TA1026 (tirzepatide) and TA875 (semaglutide 2.4mg). NHS access is staged by cohort and is decided by NHS England commissioning policy. Use the NHS eligibility checker and speak to your GP for current local availability.
Where prices belong on this site
The UK rule on prescription medicines does not affect health-service prices. We compare:
- Private GP consultations
- IVF clinic costs
- Private dental costs
- Blood-test costs
- HRT consultation costs
- Private mental-health consultation costs
For weight-management consultations specifically, the linked patient-information pages cover the service-level cost framework without displaying prescription-medicine prices.

- Whether the prescription / clinical-assessment fee is bundled with the consultation.
- Any pharmacy dispensing or delivery fees, and which dispensing pharmacy is used.
- The follow-up review schedule and how each review is billed.
- If a monthly programme fee applies: what it includes and the cancellation terms.
- Any pathology, specialist referral or dietitian costs likely to be incurred.

Frequently asked questions
What does a UK private weight-management consultation involve?
A UK private weight-management consultation is provided by a GPhC-registered pharmacy or CQC-registered clinic with a UK-registered prescriber. The consultation covers BMI, medical history, current medications and a discussion of suitable treatment. Suitability for any prescription medicine is a clinical decision for the prescriber.
What service-level costs should I budget for?
Budget for the consultation fee, any prescription / clinical-assessment fee, follow-up review fees, pharmacy dispensing fee and (where the service uses a programme model) a monthly programme fee. The NHS prescription charge applies in England (£9.90 per item, April 2026); treatment is free of charge in Scotland, Wales and Northern Ireland.
Why does this article not list medicine prices?
Weight-management medicines such as Mounjaro, Wegovy, Ozempic and Nevolat are prescription-only medicines (POMs) in the UK. The Human Medicines Regulations 2012 prohibit advertising POMs to the public, and the MHRA has cited brand × price pairings on consumer sites in past enforcement. TreatCompare does not display UK POM prices, compare POMs on price, or list provider × medicine × price tables.
What can I compare on price for UK healthcare?
Health-service prices are not affected by the rule on prescription medicines. We compare private GP consultation costs, IVF clinic costs, dental costs, hearing-aid costs and blood-test costs freely. The constraint applies only to named prescription medicines.
