The Viva Life approach
A plan made with you, not just for you
We take time to understand your health, your goals and your concerns. Medication may be part of the plan when clinically appropriate; practical changes and ongoing care matter too.

A proper conversation
Take time in a 45-minute video consultation to talk through your medical history, previous experiences, questions and treatment options.
02
Personal clinical care
Agree on treatment where appropriate, with advice on side effects, nutrition, movement and sleep.
03
Support over time
Meet for monthly clinical reviews to discuss progress, review treatment and plan for longer-term maintenance.
A starting point
Could medical weight management be right for you?
BMI is one of the measures we consider when assessing whether weight-management medication may be suitable. Calculate yours below as a starting point for a conversation about your options.
Your BMI alone does not determine suitability. Your medical history, weight-related health conditions and current treatment also matter. Your prescriber will assess these with you.

Already using weight loss medication?
Thinking of switching provider?
We can review your current treatment and discuss transferring your care. Bring evidence of your prescription or supply; continuing or restarting treatment depends on a clinical assessment.

How it works
Clear steps. Thoughtful care.
Complete a questionnaire, meet your prescriber by video, then continue with monthly reviews.
Step 1 — Eligibility questionnaire
Complete a short online questionnaire so we can understand your health background, medicines and goals. This helps us prepare for a safe and appropriate consultation.
Step 2 — Remote consultation
You’ll meet online with a pharmacist independent prescriber. We review your history, discuss your goals and agree a personalised plan. A prescription is issued during this consultation only if it is clinically appropriate.
Step 3 — Medication supply
If a prescription is issued, it is sent to our partner pharmacy. They contact you to arrange payment and home delivery. The cost of medication is not included in the consultation fee.
Step 4 — Monthly clinical review
A monthly review covers your progress, any side effects and whether treatment is still suitable. Each month’s prescription is issued only if it is clinically appropriate.
Step 5 — Support between consultations
You can contact us by email between reviews for guidance and questions.

Frequently asked questions
Your weight management questions answered
Our service is for adults aged 18 and over who would like personalised clinical support with weight management. If you are considering medication, we assess your BMI alongside your medical history, any weight-related health conditions and current medicines. The BMI checker is a starting point; your consultation will help us explore suitable options.
Your 45-minute video consultation gives us time to discuss your health, previous experiences, goals and treatment options, and agree a personalised plan. Please complete your questionnaire beforehand and have a list of your medicines ready. We will verify your identity and current weight during the appointment, so please have photo identification and scales available.
No. We can discuss your options and whether medication could have a role in your care; a consultation does not commit you to treatment. If medication is appropriate, we will explain the benefits, risks and alternatives so you can make an informed choice. Nutrition, movement, sleep and sustainable habits are part of the conversation too.
Yes, you can enquire about transferring your care to Viva Life. We will review your current medicine, dose, last injection or dose date, progress and any side effects, and ask for evidence of your recent prescription or supply. Continuing treatment, the appropriate dose and any restart after a gap will depend on your clinical assessment.
No. The initial consultation is £85 and monthly clinical reviews are £45; medication is charged separately. If medication is prescribed, our partner pharmacy will confirm the price and arrange payment and delivery. Your consultation fee covers the clinical assessment and advice, whether or not a prescription is appropriate.
We will review your progress, health and goals together and discuss a maintenance plan. This includes practical support with eating, movement, sleep and habits, alongside a review of any ongoing treatment. Reaching a target weight does not automatically mean stopping medication; decisions about continuing or changing treatment are made individually, with planned follow-up.
