Treatment Preparation
Before embarking on any therapy to manage obesity and metabolic ill-health, you should be prepared both physically and emotionally/psychologically for the intervention and its outcomes. Detailed instructions will be given to you for the days before and during the intervention/therapy as well as during the subsequent consultations. This varies from medical, nutritional, physical and psychological advice and support.
Prior to the appointment, email receipt of your
- completed online registration form
- GP referral letter ensuring it lists your current medications, including doses.
- most recent blood test results (even if they are more than a year old).
- completed the TWO questionnaires (FCQ-T reduced and DASS-21)
If these FIVE items are not received within 2 working days of your appointment, our admin support staff will ring you and arrange to defer the appointment
During the consultation,
- assess your medical history, blood test results and questionnaire answers in addition to performing a relevant physical examination.
- explore and enhance your understanding of the contributors and exacerbators of obesity and metabolic ill-health
- discuss all the possible evidence-based therapy options based on your individual health profile, so that you can go home and make an informed decision based on the facts as they relate to YOU
- refer you for investigations if clinically indicated
