Eligibility questions are one of the best ways to judge whether a weight-loss route is being handled carefully. This guide helps you understand what may be checked before comparing providers more closely.

What this guide helps with

Use eligibility to judge the quality of the assessment

You do not need to know your own answer to every clinical question before you read. The real question is whether a provider asks enough, explains why those questions matter, and makes space for a regulated professional to review the route properly.

01

Health details

BMI, medical history, current medicines and other relevant health details may matter before suitability can be assessed.

02

Route differences

NHS, private, pharmacy-led and programme-led routes may ask different questions or handle review differently.

03

Support needs

Follow-up, side-effect help and review points can shape which route feels more appropriate.

What may be checked

Common topics a careful assessment may cover

BMI and weight history

Height, weight, BMI and previous treatment attempts may all be relevant comparison background.

Medical history

Existing conditions, symptoms or previous reactions can affect whether a route is suitable.

Current medicines

Interactions and contraindications need proper review, especially where other medicines are involved.

Pregnancy and breastfeeding

Pregnancy, breastfeeding or plans to become pregnant can change which routes may be considered.

Better questions

Turn eligibility into practical provider checks

Does the provider explain the assessment?

You should be able to see how suitability is reviewed before treatment is offered.

Can you ask follow-up questions?

Look for clear contact or support routes if the assessment is not straightforward.

Is “not suitable” handled clearly?

A trustworthy route should explain that some visitors may be advised against a treatment or redirected to other options.

Where to use this next

Apply these checks when you compare routes

Injections

Check how providers handle dose changes, follow-up and side-effect support.

Compare injections

Tablets

Check whether the route is prescription-only, pharmacy medicine or programme-led and whether the pack size is clear.

Compare tablets

NHS vs private

Check how eligibility and access can differ depending on the route of care.

Compare access routes

NHS route

Access is usually criteria-led and may involve referral, waiting periods and service availability.

Private route

Access is still assessment-led. Providers should check suitability, identity, BMI and medical context before prescribing.

What to compare

Eligibility, clinical review, regulator checks, ongoing support, fulfilment and total cost can all matter.

How this comparison is structured

We compare routes and provider information using visible criteria rather than price alone.

  • Provider type and route to care
  • Regulator and registration signals
  • Assessment and eligibility context
  • Support, delivery and fulfilment notes
  • Displayed costs, offer caveats and when details were checked
  • Where to read next for medicine-specific comparisons
