Weight management
At Derwen Health we fully appreciate the impact being overweight can have on both your physical and mental wellbeing. There are many factors that can affect how much we weigh, such as medical conditions, hormones and emotional factors.

Our clinic led by Dr Nelson, is supportive and non judgmental. We have the time and expertise to discuss your current physical situation, how this may be caused by, or impacting on your health, and what the options are to address this. We can advise whether blood tests would be beneficial, both to check for conditions such as hypothyroidism or polycystic ovarian syndrome, or to assess your overall health such as checking cholesterol and screening for diabetes. You will be offered a tailored treatment plan including lifestyle management and medical treatment options such as injectable weight loss drugs. Our aim is to optimise your weight loss and improve your overall health and wellbeing. If we identify other treatments that may benefit you such as cholesterol management, we are happy to advise on this and either prescribe the medication or help you access this from your own GP. We offer comprehensive support on the weight loss journey, with follow up and monitoring throughout the process, both face to face and by phone
