Medical Weight Loss Clinic Blackburn – Doctor-Led Treatment Pathway
Doctor-Led Medical Weight Management at East Park Healthcare
At East Park Healthcare, we provide a doctor-led medical weight management service that may include injectable treatment options where clinically appropriate. Our approach focuses on personalised assessment, safe prescribing, and ongoing monitoring to support patients on their weight management journey.
For individuals who have struggled to achieve sustainable results through diet and lifestyle measures alone, injectable treatments may be considered following a comprehensive medical consultation. Suitability is always assessed individually, ensuring treatment plans are tailored to each patient’s health history and goals.
What sets us apart is our dedicated team of healthcare professionals, led by experienced GP Dr Naylea Choudry, who oversees treatment pathways and ensures patients are monitored throughout their journey. With clinician-led supervision, patients benefit from structured guidance, regular review, and a focus on long-term health rather than short-term results.
It is important to understand that injectable weight management treatments require medical oversight. Self-administration without professional guidance may increase the risk of incorrect dosing, adverse effects, or medication interactions. At East Park Healthcare, treatment decisions prioritise safety, responsible prescribing, and evidence-based care.

Frequently asked questions:
Weight loss injections typically involve the use of GLP-1 and GIP receptor agonist that works by combining the actions of two hormones in your body—GLP-1 (glucagon-like peptide 1) and GIP (gastric inhibitory peptide). These hormones help regulate appetite, improve blood sugar control, and increase fat burning
GLP-1 (glucagon-like peptide 1) medications, which are designed to support fat loss by mimicking the action of a naturally occurring hormone in the body. These injections help to regulate appetite, improve metabolism, and promote the burning of fat by encouraging your body to use stored energy more efficiently.
The most commonly used weight loss injections are Manjaro and Wegovy, which have been clinically proven to assist in weight reduction for those who are overweight or obese.
Weight loss injections work by influencing several key factors related to weight management:
- Appetite Control: The injections help to regulate hunger signals, making you feel fuller for longer. This means you may naturally consume fewer calories, helping to create a calorie deficit without feeling deprived.
- Improved Insulin Sensitivity: GLP-1 medications can help improve how your body responds to insulin, which in turn helps regulate blood sugar levels, reducing cravings and promoting steady energy throughout the day.
- Increased Fat Burning: These injections can enhance your body’s ability to burn fat by boosting your metabolism and improving how efficiently you use energy.
Sustained Results: With consistent use, many clients see gradual but sustained weight loss over time, helping them achieve and maintain their target weight.
Weight loss injections can be a valuable option for those who:
- Struggle with emotional or stress-related eating
- Have not been able to achieve weight loss through diet and exercise alone
- Have been diagnosed with obesity or are at risk of developing weight-related health conditions, such as type 2 diabetes or heart disease
- Want a medically supervised, effective weight loss solution
Note: These injections are intended to complement a healthy diet and regular exercise, rather than replace them. They work best when combined with a balanced lifestyle.
The weight loss injection process is simple and straightforward. After an initial consultation, one of our qualified healthcare professionals will explain how the treatment works, assess your medical history, and determine whether the injections are the right option for you.
The injections are administered once a week, either in the arm, thigh, or abdomen, depending on your preference. Most clients experience minimal discomfort during the injection, and the treatment takes just a few minutes to complete.
While individual experiences vary, many clients report a reduction in appetite and cravings within the first few weeks. Weight loss results tend to be gradual, with noticeable changes occurring over the course of a few months. You may also experience other benefits such as improved energy levels and more stable blood sugar levels.
Our team will provide ongoing support throughout your treatment journey to monitor progress, adjust dosages if necessary, and offer guidance on how to maintain your results for the long term.
Once you start your weight loss injections, we’ll be there to guide you every step of the way. Our team will check in regularly to track your progress and provide any additional advice you may need on diet and exercise.
Most clients see a noticeable difference in their weight, energy levels, and overall health within a few weeks to months, with the majority experiencing sustained results if the injections are combined with a healthy lifestyle.
To determine if weight loss injections are suitable for you, book a consultation with one of our specialists. We’ll assess your medical history, weight loss goals, and overall health to create a personalised plan that’s tailored to your needs.
As with any medication, there may be some potential side effects. The most common include:
Nausea (especially when starting treatment)
Diarrhoea
Headache
Fatigue
These side effects are usually mild and tend to subside as your body adjusts to the medication. Our healthcare team will monitor your progress closely, ensuring that any side effects are managed appropriately and making adjustments to your treatment if necessary.
