Questions people ask about Pinner
What happens at a follow-up review?
Weight, BMI and blood pressure are rechecked, then the pharmacist goes through how your eating and activity plan has worked since the last visit and adjusts it where needed. Reviews take 10 to 15 minutes, and Pinner patients travel about 2.5 miles down Pinner Road via Bridge Street to reach the clinic.
Can I get an appointment the same week?
Yes, appointments are often available within a few days. You can book online through the booking page or call 020 8869 1200. For Pinner parents and commuters, the shorter follow-up review slots are usually the easiest to arrange around work.
How long does the first appointment take?
About 20 minutes. That covers the BMI assessment, blood pressure check, medical history and a proper conversation about your goals and routine. Later reviews take 10 to 15 minutes, so the trip in from Pinner rarely takes more than an hour door to door.
Can I stop the programme whenever I want?
Yes. There is no contract and no subscription, so you can pause or stop at any point. If you do stop, the pharmacist will talk through aftercare and how to hold onto the changes you have made, and can suggest a conversation with your GP.
What lifestyle support do you provide?
Each review looks at eating patterns, portion sizes, activity and sleep, and at the practical obstacles in your week. Advice is adjusted as things change rather than handed over once, and NHS healthy weight resources are suggested for reading between appointments.
What should I bring to the consultation?
Bring a list of your current medicines, including anything bought over the counter or online, and details of any long-term conditions. Recent blood pressure readings or test results are useful if you have them. Nothing else is needed for the appointment.
