Weight Loss Clinic in Caterham
Struggling to manage your weight despite trying diet and exercise? You are not alone - and you do not have to keep going it alone. At Vitaltone Pharmacy in Caterham, our confidential, pharmacist-led weight management clinic gives you face-to-face clinical support right on your doorstep in Surrey.
No lengthy GP waiting lists and no impersonal online-only questionnaire. Just expert, in-person care from an independent pharmacy your community has trusted for decades.
Below is everything you need to know about how our weight management service works and how to book.
What is our weight management service?
Our service is a private, pharmacist-led programme for adults who are finding it difficult to manage their weight and would benefit from professional clinical support. Unlike generic online services, our clinic begins with a personal consultation: our trained pharmacist takes time to understand your health history, lifestyle and goals before discussing whether any treatment is clinically appropriate for you.
Any treatment is provided only where a pharmacist has carried out a full clinical assessment and confirmed it is suitable. We do not provide treatment on the basis of an online form alone.
What your consultation includes
Your appointment with our trained pharmacist is thorough and completely confidential. It covers:
- Your current weight, BMI and weight history
- Relevant medical history and any existing health conditions
- Your current medications and anything that might make treatment unsuitable
- Your lifestyle, diet and activity levels
- A clear, plain-English explanation of the options that may be appropriate for you
- Guidance on managing your weight safely, whatever path is recommended
- An ongoing support plan with follow-up appointments
We see weight management as a journey, not a one-off transaction. Our pharmacist is here to support you at every stage.
Am I eligible?
Suitability for any weight management treatment is always determined by clinical criteria and confirmed during your consultation. As a general guide, you may be suitable if:
- Your BMI is 30 or above, or
- Your BMI is 27 or above and you have a weight-related health condition such as type 2 diabetes, high blood pressure or raised cholesterol
- You have tried to manage your weight through diet and lifestyle changes without lasting success
- You have no medical reason that would make treatment unsuitable
Eligibility is confirmed only after a full pharmacist assessment. We will never recommend treatment without one.

Frequently asked questions
Do I need a referral from my GP?
No. Our weight management clinic is open to all adults, whether or not you are an existing Vitaltone patient, and no GP referral is needed. We welcome patients from across Caterham, Oxted, Warlingham, Redhill, Reigate and the wider Surrey area.
What happens at the first appointment?
Your pharmacist carries out a confidential assessment of your health history, current medications, lifestyle and weight, then explains the options that may be appropriate for you and answers your questions. You are under no obligation to proceed.
Is everything kept confidential?
Yes. Consultations take place in our private consultation room and your information is handled in line with our privacy policy and professional confidentiality obligations.
How much does the service cost?
Please contact us directly for current consultation pricing, as this can vary. We are committed to transparent, fair pricing with no hidden fees.
How long before I see results?
That depends on the individual, your health and the plan agreed with your pharmacist. Sustainable weight management is a gradual process, and our follow-up appointments are designed to support you over time rather than promise a quick fix.
Is this service a replacement for my GP?
No. Our service complements, but does not replace, advice from your GP. If anything in your assessment needs GP input, we will tell you.
