How we help you
From the initial check-up to personalised support
A treatment programme at WeightConsult does not begin with a one-size-fits-all solution. That is why we first look at your situation, health and goals. We then assess which next step is medically appropriate and how your programme can best be structured.
What’s more, guidance remains an integral part of the process. This means you’ll not only know how to get started, but also what to expect along the way and what happens as you approach your goal.
A positive initial check is not the same as medical clearance.
Personal, clear and entirely online
The key steps before and during the course of treatment.
You start with an initial assessment and a medical questionnaire.
The doctor will assess your situation and discuss the treatment plan with you.
Once approval has been given, the next steps will be arranged through the pharmacy.
Your progress will be monitored and, where necessary, reassessed.
Step by step
This is how your programme at WeightConsult works
Every step has a clear purpose. That’s why you know in advance what will happen, when the doctor will be involved, and when your treatment can actually begin.
Start with the BMI check
Your height and weight will give you an initial indication of whether, based on your BMI, you may be eligible to proceed to the medical assessment. This is not yet medical clearance.
The BMI check is the first step. You then decide for yourself whether you want to proceed with the intake.
The online consultation
What happens during the online consultation?
The e-consultation is the opportunity for you to discuss your medical situation and any questions you may have directly with the doctor. That is why it is more than just a brief check-up: it forms an important part of the treatment plan.
Furthermore, the doctor may ask for additional information where necessary. This ensures that the follow-up is tailored not only to your BMI, but to your overall medical condition.
Your medical condition
The doctor will go through the relevant information from your initial consultation and assess whether any further points need to be taken into account.
A space for your questions
You can ask questions about the treatment plan, what to expect, possible next steps and practical matters.
Personalised treatment plan
The doctor will then discuss which approach is medically appropriate and what the next steps in your treatment plan might look like.
Medical clearance
Only when the doctor considers treatment to be appropriate will the prescription be issued and the next step taken.
The e-consultation takes place online. Please therefore ensure that you can take part in a quiet and private setting at the agreed time.
Support throughout the process
You won’t be on your own during the treatment
Weight loss isn’t just about starting a treatment programme. That’s why support remains an integral part of the whole process. What’s more, we don’t just look at the number on the scales, but also at how you’re feeling, how things are going on a day-to-day basis, and what you need to keep going.
This creates an opportunity to discuss your progress, ask questions and, where necessary, review the treatment plan. At the same time, lifestyle remains important, so that you can work on changes that will also be beneficial in the longer term.
As you get closer to your goal, your focus shifts increasingly towards maintaining what you’ve achieved, daily routines and a responsible follow-up.
Track progress
We’ll monitor how the process is going and what changes you notice. This will enable us to tailor the next steps more effectively to your situation.
We’re always happy to answer any questions
If you have any questions about your progress, practical matters or the treatment plan, there will be opportunities to discuss these throughout the process.
Lifestyle remains important
Diet, exercise and daily routines remain part of the programme. In short: treatment supports, but does not replace, a healthy lifestyle.
Preservation and responsible follow-up
As you approach your goal, we’ll look at how you can maintain your results as effectively as possible and what the next steps should be.
The next steps remain part of the process, so that you know where you stand even during the development and as you maintain your direction.
Medical safety
Carefully organised from assessment to dispensing
Prescription-only treatment requires more than just an online order. That is why every application undergoes a medical assessment and there is personal contact with the doctor before treatment begins. Furthermore, the medication is dispensed via a registered Dutch pharmacy.
Every application is assessed
The doctor will review your medical records, medical history and other relevant information. This means that the decision on whether treatment is appropriate is not based solely on your BMI.
Contacting the doctor
During the online consultation, the doctor may ask further questions and you will discuss the treatment plan. This ensures there is personal medical contact before the final follow-up.
Prescription only
The treatment is available on prescription only. Only when the doctor considers it medically justified will a prescription be issued, and the medication can then be dispensed by the chemist.
Dispensing via a pharmacy
WeightConsult works in partnership with the eFarma pharmacy to dispense medication. As a result, prescription-only medication is not supplied directly by WeightConsult.
Medical records and follow-up
Relevant information regarding the assessment and treatment is carefully documented. Furthermore, progress may give rise to a reassessment of the next steps.
Careful delivery
Once the doctor has given their approval, the dispensing is arranged through the pharmacy. Where the treatment needs to be kept refrigerated, this is taken into account during the delivery process.
Online healthcare does not mean that medical checks are skipped. Particularly in the case of prescription-only treatment, there are conditions governing prescription, assessment and dispensing.
Client experiences
How others find the support offered by WeightConsult
A treatment programme is personalised. That is why someone else’s experience can never tell you exactly what your outcome will be. At the same time, reviews do give an idea of how clients rate the contact, the support and the expertise offered by WeightConsult.
Your next step
Find out whether a treatment programme is right for you
You now know how the process works, when the doctor is involved and how support remains an integral part of the treatment. That’s why you can now easily complete the initial assessment and see whether you might be able to proceed with the medical intake.
A positive initial check is not the same as medical clearance.
