Medical assurance,built for pharmacies.
Prescribing support with clinician sign-off.
Providing expert clinical back-up
Our clinicians are experts in their fields, with over 30 years of combined experience supporting patients with surgical and medical weight-loss interventions. We have seen firsthand the incredible results and positive impact that medical weight-loss treatments can achieve when used correctly and responsibly.
Our goal is to support fellow clinicians in providing weight-loss services to as many patients as possible and achieving the same success in their own practices.
We promote a three-phase treatment journey to support your patients to achieve their target weight and stay there. Your relationship with your patient doesn’t end when they achieve their target rate.
We provide expert clinical backup, giving your team confidence in their practice.
We believe the 1-2-1 care a pharmacist can offer their community gives patients the best opportunity to achieve successful outcomes.
Our blend of PGD/hybrid care/off-label shared care treatment options allows you to care for more patients than ever before.
We provide purpose-built software to record your consultations. It can also be adapted to record your other PGD or IP services.
Answering your FAQs
Why use DWT as your weight loss partner?
Expert clinical leads use their experience to support you in delivering best practice.
Reach more patients than other providers.
Patients not eligible for PGD-led care may be eligible for treatment with our clinicians.
Our hybrid model means the patient care is shared between you and DWT clinicians. We provide clinical oversight, and you provide face-to-face support.
Offer treatment for ‘off label’ indications – our clinicians have experience prescribing in numerous situations including to support HRT/Rheumatoid arthritis/childhood obesity and binge eating disorder.
Do we offer other PGDs as a package?
No. Our clinical leads are specialists in weight loss.
However, our cloud-based clinical record software can be used to record services provided to patients using other PGD providers.
Save money and purchase PGD-only packages and run them on the DWT software.
How much do weight loss PDGs cost with DWT?
We offer several pricing plans depending on your needs (all include DWT consultation software).
Premises plan – all pharmacists and technicians operating in one premises can use the PGD – £700
Pharmacist plan – a single pharmacist can operate in any branch within a single company – £500
Pay as you go – just getting started and unsure how busy you will be? You will be invoiced per consultation – £5 per supply.
Don’t worry you can upgrade to either plan when your service takes off.
How does hybrid care work?
You complete an initial consultation with the patient and discover that you cannot treat due to the PGD criteria.
Explain to the patient that if their GP can’t see them for NHS treatment, they can see a DWT clinician for a privately funded consultation.
The DWT clinician will review the record, organise an appointment, and if appropriate, write a prescription which will be sent to your pharmacy or NHS mail.
When the patient collects the prescription, you help them succeed on their weight-loss journey, as you do with your PGD clients.
When the patient needs a further supply, they can contact DWT for a review, and a new prescription will be sent to you.
