A trusted, safe private alternative to support your patients

Many patients are now turning to their GP for support with weight loss, but NHS pathways aren’t always suitable or accessible. That’s why we created the EMPOWER weight management programme – a private, clinically led service that combines supervised medication with personalised support and education.

Developed by our in-house clinical team at Spirit Health – a company with over 10 years’ experience working with the NHS – EMPOWER provides a structured, medically supervised approach to weight loss. It’s designed to help patients lose weight safely and sustainably, reducing the risk of future complications and the need for further clinical interventions.

Why GPs like EMPOWER's weight management programme

Safe, ethical prescribing

Every patient receives a full clinical assessment via a video consultation, ensuring safety and suitability.

Trusted, clinically governed care

The programme is built on robust clinical protocols and national prescribing guidelines.

Collaborative and transparent

We talk to GPs, providing updates and ensuring continuity of care throughout the patient’s journey.

What are the benefits to patients?

Safe, personalised care

We offer one-to-one video consultations with thorough clinical assessments and prescribing based on clear safety protocols.

Ongoing support that lasts

We provide education and check-ins to help patients build sustainable lifestyle changes - not just short-term fixes.

Simple, all-inclusive pricing

Flat fee of £210/month including discreet home delivery of medication, wipes, sharps bin and everything they need to get started. No hidden fees.

Backed by personal experience

Our Medical Director and a practicing GP of over 20 years, Dr. Richard Palin, wasn’t always at the weight he is now.

Over the years, he tried various weight loss methods, but none of them stuck. After one year of being supported by weight loss medication and a shift in mindset, Richard is proud to have lost over 44kg (7 stone), and has helped to shape the programme into what it is today.
