Yes - Harpers Pharmacy offers a personalised, practitioner-led weight management program designed around your health, goals and life. Your consult privately with a qualified practitioner by telehealth, and our local pharmacy team supports you along the way, online or in store. Your practitioner will discuss the options that may suit you.

Can I get weight management support at Harpers Pharmacy?

Weight management is not one-size-fits-all. Our program starts by understanding you: your health history, your circumstances and what matters most to you. A qualified practitioner assesses your situation and builds a plan around it, and your Harpers Pharmacy team stays alongside you for questions and ongoing support.

Key benefits:

• A private, confidential telehealth consultation with a qualified practitioner
• An individualised plan that can change as you progress
• Ongoing education and support from your local pharmacists

It is a practitioner-led service delivered by telehealth and supported by your pharmacy team. There is no predetermined pathway. Your practitioner is responsible for your clinical assessment and your plan, while our pharmacists help you understand your plan, answer questions and support your progress. Other health professionals may be involved where appropriate.

How does it work?

• Complete a confidential health assessment. Tell us about your health history, goals and priorities.
• Have a private telehealth consultation. Speak with a practitioner about your health, past approaches, goals and the options that may suit you.
• Receive an individualised plan. Your practitioner builds a plan around your assessment, and it can change over time.
• Stay supported. Our pharmacists are available for education, questions and progress support, remotely or in store.
• Review and adapt. Your progress is monitored and your plan adjusted with your care team.

This service may suit you if you:

• Want a personalised, medically guided approach to managing your weight
• Would like further support after trying changes to diet and exercise
• Would like your health and medicines reviewed by a professional
• Prefer the convenience of an online appointment with local pharmacy support

Your practitioner will assess whether the program is suitable for you based on your individual health circumstances. It may not be suitable for everyone.
