Weight Loss Monitoring Blood Test
A follow-up blood test to assess selected health markers during your weight-management programme. Results can be compared with previous tests to help guide your ongoing care. Please book following advice from your clinician, who will confirm whether this profile or a smaller selection of tests is appropriate.

Who may benefit?
This test may suit people already taking GLP-1 or other prescription weight-loss medication who need follow-up monitoring as part of their individual treatment plan. Your clinician will advise when to test and which markers are appropriate for you.

Results and follow-up
A clinician will review your results alongside previous findings, where available. Your results will be shared with you, together with advice on any recommended next steps. We will review the need for repeat testing around three months after starting treatment, or sooner if clinically indicated. Further testing depends on your results, symptoms, medical history and treatment.
£209 includes blood collection, laboratory testing and clinical review of your results. A £25 booking deposit is deducted from the total, leaving £184 payable at your appointment. Consultations, medication and any additional investigations are charged separately, with costs explained before you proceed.
