Service Description

Are you seeking structured, professional support to achieve your weight-loss goals? At Allisons Chemist’s dedicated Weight Management Service, our trained pharmacist is here to guide you every step of the way. We provide a comprehensive 30-minute initial consultation, where we’ll explore your diet, exercise habits, medications and overall health, and help you set realistic, achievable goals. A personalised plan that goes beyond medication — we discuss diet, physical activity and behaviour changes as key parts of your journey. Advanced medication options (where eligible) to support your weight-loss: Tirzepatide (brand name: Mounjaro) – a once-weekly injection shown to help people lose around 22.5% of their starting body weight by week 72 at the highest dose. Semaglutide (brand name: Wegovy) – a once-weekly injection, used alongside diet and exercise, shown to reduce weight by up to 15%. Mysimba – a daily oral tablet that supports appetite control, to be used in conjunction with healthy eating and activity. If medication is supplied, our pharmacist will guide you in safe use, including administering the first dose if needed, and will stay in touch with you through your treatment to monitor progress and adapt plans accordingly. We assess eligibility for the medications based on your body-mass index (BMI), health conditions and previous weight-loss efforts. For example, Mounjaro is appropriate for individuals with a BMI ≥ 30 kg/m² (or BMI ≥ 27 kg/m² with certain weight-related risk factors) such as hypertension, high cholesterol, obstructive sleep apnoea, cardiovascular disease, or pre-diabetes/type 2 diabetes. With our pharmacy-based clinic you benefit from: The convenience of a local pharmacy setting with flexible access to professional pharmacy care A pharmacist-led service, combining medication expertise with lifestyle and behavioural support A holistic approach: we treat the whole picture, not just prescribing a product Ongoing support — you won’t be left on your own after the first visit. Book your initial consultation with us at Allisons Chemist. We’ll review your goals, health history and current habits, then tailor a plan just for you. Whether you’re aiming to manage weight for better health, increase energy, reduce medication reliance, or just feel more comfortable in your body — we’re here to support you. Take the first step today: your journey, your goals, your plan — together we’ll work to make them happen.

Private Services

What we do

Our private services have grown considerably over the past few years and they continue to grow to keep in line with what our patients are looking for from us.  Whether it's travel vaccinations, antimalarials, weight management clinics or a Yellow Fever exemption certificate we have you covered.

These services are obviously chargeable, but are a vital addition to our core services both for the viability of our pharmacy as a business and to meet our patients needs.

Medical Consultation

Retail Therapy

Medicinal therapies aren't the only ones we specialise in. Why not take a look at some of the quality gifts whilst you're in for our more traditional offerings.

Who we are and what we do

Need your prescription dispensed?  We can do that for you and carry a large stock so in most cases we can fulfil your prescription right away. 

Require a vaccination for a holiday, work or just to protect yourself?  We can do that too.  We offer NHS vaccinations for both flu and COVID on a seasonal basis as well as travel, occupational and general wellbeing vaccinations on a private basis.

We also offer other NHS and private professional services to help you access medication and advice in a timely manner.

On top of all this we also excel when it comes to retail therapy, stocking beautiful gifts from quality manufacturers.

NHS Services

What we do

Dispensing is our bread and butter.  Our team of established staff will prepare your medication in a safe and timely manner under the guidance of our experienced pharmacists, with the assistance of advanced computer systems and our dispensing robot.
We can now treat patients for seven conditions on the NHS Pharmacy First scheme.  Eligibility criteria apply and a consultation is required.
