About Medicspot

Who we are

Medicspot is a clinician-led medical weight-management service founded in 2016. 

Our programmes combine clinically appropriate prescription medication where suitable, behavioural support, lifestyle guidance, and nutritional advice to help people manage their weight safely and sustainably.

Every Medicspot member is assessed by a clinician before starting treatment and receives personalised support from a dedicated health coach and access to our online community, bringing medical care and human connection together.

Since May 2026 Medicspot has been part of the Doctor Care Anywhere Group (DCA Medicspot Limited).

Who we are

What Medicspot does today

Medicspot is a UK medical weight management service. Since October 2024, Medicspot has focused exclusively on medically supported weight management, including weight loss treatments such as weight loss injections and weight loss pills for eligible patients.

Medicspot no longer provides virtual GP appointments or COVID-19 testing. These are former Medicspot services, and references to them may still appear on older webpages, directories and other third-party websites.

Our mission, beliefs and values

Medicspot’s mission is to enable safe, sustainable, and personally meaningful weight-management outcomes.

We do this by combining medication and trusted medical oversight with personal support that helps people make lasting, healthy changes.

We believe that:

  • sustainable affordable weight management can transform physical and mental wellbeing.
  • medical treatments, when clinically appropriate and combined with lifestyle changes, can support meaningful progress.
  • weight management is rarely linear; support and monitoring make a difference.
  • willpower alone does not determine success: ongoing, personalised support does.
  • weight management is about more than the number on the scales; it’s about improved health, confidence, and quality of life.
  • combining medical, behavioural, and nutritional support can lead to more durable results.

Our values:

Personal. Supportive. Empathetic. Honest.

We believe in treating every patient as an individual, providing clear information, and working together towards realistic, healthy outcomes.

How our Weight Loss Treatments work: convenient personalised support

Step 1: Tell us about yourself, we're listening.

Complete a short online assessment. Our clinicians will review your assessment and offer you the best options based on your personal preference and health needs.

Step 2: Start your treatment and get support.

Any medications will be delivered to your door in discreet packaging and with easy-to-follow instructions, and you'll receive access your personal support plan: including weekly 1-to-1 online check-ins with a Medicpot Health Coach, and access to our thriving WhatsApp peer-support community.

Step 3: Make sustainable progress.

We guide with information to support behaviour change and essential nutrition advice. We also prepare you for reducing and stopping medication when you are comfortable at a healthy goal weight, and we give you 12 months support* after you finish treatment, as recommended by NICE. (*For members who have been with Medicspot for a minimum of 4 months and who are no longer taking weight loss medication.)
