Marks Tey Pharmacy

Weight management service


Marks Tey Pharmacy provides a private, pharmacist-led weight management service for patients from Marks Tey and Colchester, with face-to-face consultations in the pharmacy.

Our weight management service is provided from the pharmacy by trained healthcare professionals under approved PGDs. It includes a clinical assessment, treatment where appropriate, and ongoing follow-up.

This is not a quick injection or walk-in service. Appointments are required, as assessments take time.
