Common Q&A about Paediatric Weight Management Clinic
Our FAQ section is designed to address common questions you may have, from how our treatments work to what you can expect during and after your session.
Our team is always available to provide additional support if you need more personalised guidance, ensuring that you feel informed and confident every step of the way.
A paediatric weight management clinic is a specialist healthcare service that helps children and young people achieve a healthier weight. Our clinic combines medical assessments, nutrition advice, activity planning, and emotional support to guide families towards sustainable lifestyle changes.
No, a GP referral is not essential. Parents can book directly with us. However, with your consent, we will share results and treatment plans with your child’s GP so that care remains joined-up.
At the first visit, your child will see a Consultant Paediatric Endocrinologist for a detailed medical and lifestyle assessment. This includes measurements, body composition analysis, and blood tests where needed. Together, we’ll create a personalised care plan tailored to your child and family.
We support children and young people up to 18 years old who are above a healthy weight or experiencing weight-related health problems such as high blood pressure, type 2 diabetes risk, or sleep difficulties.
We believe children do best when families are involved. Our service provides advice and practical strategies for parents and siblings too, helping the whole household build healthier routines together.
These medications may be considered in young people who meet strict eligibility criteria and where lifestyle changes alone are not enough. They are only prescribed under close supervision by our Consultant Paediatric Endocrinologist and always alongside a full lifestyle programme.
Most families join our one-year weight management package, which includes quarterly in-person appointments with the Consultant and Dietician, plus three online dietetic reviews. We also offer additional check-ins if needed.
Yes. Our service is compassionate, non-judgemental, and supportive. We focus on building confidence and health, not blame or guilt.
Our aim is to support healthy growth and wellbeing. This may include stabilising weight, improving energy, building healthier habits, better sleep, and lowering risk factors such as blood sugar or cholesterol. Results vary for each child, but we focus on long-term health, not quick fixes.
You can contact us directly by phone, email, or booking online. Once your appointment is confirmed, we’ll guide you through pre-appointment forms so that your child’s first visit is focused and stress-free.
