Feel healthier, lighter, and more confident—with friendly, local support from your community pharmacy.
Our pharmacy-led weight management service offers personalised guidance and clinically proven treatment options right here on Islay. Whether you’re looking to improve your overall health, prepare for an event, or simply feel more in control of your weight, we’re here to support you every step of the way.
Please note: Clinics run on Tuesday afternoons, and places are initially limited. Early booking is recommended.
We understand that weight loss is personal—and that a one-size-fits-all approach doesn’t work. That’s why our service is:
Private & Confidential
Consultations take place in a discreet consultation room with our trained pharmacy team.
Evidence-Based
Where appropriate, we offer access to effective prescription treatments, including weight loss medications, supported by clinical guidance.
Supportive & Non-Judgemental
We help you set realistic goals and provide ongoing check-ins, motivation, and lifestyle advice tailored to your journey.
Convenient & Local
The service is delivered from our pharmacy in Bowmore, with flexible access for residents.
Initial Consultation
You’ll meet with our trained pharmacy team to discuss your goals, medical history, and lifestyle in a relaxed, no-pressure setting.
Assessment & Treatment Plan
If you meet the eligibility criteria, you may be offered a prescription weight loss medication, alongside personalised advice and recommendations.
Before Your Appointment
We ask all patients to complete a food diary before their initial consultation. This helps us understand your current eating habits and lifestyle, so we can tailor our advice and treatment options more effectively. It’s not about judgment—it’s about giving you the most personalised support possible right from the start. You can download the food diary here: Food Diary Download
Ongoing Support
We offer regular follow-ups to track your progress, answer questions, and help you stay motivated.
To ensure safety and effectiveness, certain criteria must be met before prescription treatments can be considered.
Aged 18 or over
BMI of 30+, or 27+ with a weight-related health condition (e.g., type 2 diabetes or high blood pressure)
Commitment to a healthy lifestyle plan
No relevant medical contraindications (such as certain thyroid, pancreatic or gastrointestinal conditions)
Not currently pregnant or breastfeeding
Your suitability will be assessed during your initial consultation.
The cost of the service will depend on the treatment plan agreed during your consultation. If you are prescribed weight loss medication, prices typically start from £130 per month, which includes regular support and follow-up from our pharmacy team. Full pricing will be discussed with you during your initial appointment, with no obligation to proceed.
We know the first step can be the hardest—but you’re not alone. Our caring, professional team is here to support your goals.
