Questions people ask about Edgware
Do I need to book ahead or can I walk in?
Booking ahead is best, either online through the booking page or by calling 020 8869 1200, so the pharmacist can set aside the full 20 minutes. Edgware patients travel about 4 miles west via Whitchurch Lane from the A5, roughly 16 minutes by car, so it is worth confirming a slot first.
What happens at the first weight management appointment?
The pharmacist measures height, weight, BMI and waist, checks blood pressure and reviews your medical history and medicines. You then discuss your goals and daily routine before deciding together whether a supervised programme is appropriate. The visit takes around 20 minutes.
Do I need to fast before the appointment?
No, fasting is not needed for a weight management consultation. Eat and drink as normal and bring a list of your medicines. If a blood test is recommended at a later stage, the pharmacist will tell you beforehand whether you need to fast for it.
Is blood pressure checked as part of the review?
Yes. Blood pressure is checked at the first consultation and at follow-up reviews as part of the general health review, alongside BMI and waist measurement. If a reading needs further attention, the pharmacist will advise you to contact your GP.
Can under-18s use the service?
No. The weight management service is for adults only. Younger people in Edgware who are concerned about their weight should speak to their GP or practice nurse, who can arrange support that is appropriate for their age and involve specialist services if needed.
How soon can I start after the consultation?
If the assessment indicates a supervised programme is suitable, the pharmacist explains the plan and the next steps during the same appointment at 106 High Street. Any further checks are arranged first. Nothing begins before the full assessment and eligibility review have been completed.
