Our Clinicians and Health Coaches

Medicspot’s clinical oversight is led by Dr Abby Hyams, Chief Medical Officer.

Dr Hyams is responsible for the safety, quality, and governance of our content, service design, and wrap around care provision.

Dr Jackir Hussain GP and Dr Adam Abbs GP provide expert clinical and content reviews for all patient information and treatment protocols.

Clinical decision making and prescribing for Medicspot’s patients is carried out by The Independent Pharmacy (TIP), a CQC-registered and GPhC-regulated partner.

TIP’s experienced prescribers review every case individually to ensure that all medication is safe, appropriate, and clinically justified, and work closely with us to ensure information we use and support we provide aligns with best current clinical practices

Alongside our clinicians, Medicspot’s health-coaching team provides one-to-one behavioural support, helping patients make sustainable lifestyle changes while using GLP-1 medication. This joined-up model helps patients build lasting lifestyle habits alongside medical treatment.

Our health-coaching team includes Laura Reed, Catherine Dean, Cristina Massague, Paul Dehan-Smith and Taylor Staines.

Each coach has specialist training in weight management, motivation, and behaviour change, and works closely with our clinicians to provide integrated support throughout each patient’s journey.

Our clinicians and coaches work together to:

• Monitor progress and side effects through monthly check-ins
• Support dose adjustments based on medical review
• Provide guidance on nutrition, activity, sleep, and mental wellbeing
• Encourage long-term habit formation for sustained weight management

This joined-up model allows patients to benefit from both medical expertise and day-to-day behavioural support.
