About our pharmacy
Your local, independent pharmacies — now Doncaster Clinics.
Hyde Park Pharmacy on Carr House Road and Askern Pharmacy on Church Street have served Doncaster families for years. Our weight management service brings that same trusted, face-to-face care to a difficult subject: a proper assessment, honest advice about what's suitable for you, and a pharmacist who sees you at every review.
No GP referral, no online form deciding for you, no pressure. Book a consultation, and if it isn't right for you, we'll tell you.

Am I eligible?
A quick, honest guide before you book.
We follow NICE thresholds: clinical weight management is normally considered from a BMI of 30, or 27 with a weight-related condition. Estimate yours below — a pharmacist confirms everything at your consultation.
32.9Obesity range
18.52530
BMI is a rough measure. It does not account for muscle, body composition or ethnicity, and it is only ever one part of the picture.
On these numbers alone, a weight management consultation may be worth booking. What we can offer depends on your medical history, your current medicines and a proper assessment with a pharmacist.
This is a guide only. It does not replace a clinical assessment and nothing is supplied on the basis of a calculator.

What's included
A service, not a transaction.
Every part of the programme is pharmacist-led and face to face. You pay for consultations and reviews; anything supplied after assessment is discussed and priced with you in person.
Initial consultation
A private, unhurried appointment with a pharmacist. We take a full medical and medicines history, measure your weight, height and BMI, and talk honestly about what you want to achieve.
£XX · around 30 minutes
Eligibility assessment
We check you against NICE criteria and rule out anything that would make clinical weight management unsuitable. If it isn't right for you, we'll say so and suggest what might help instead.
Included
Your treatment options
If you're eligible, your pharmacist explains the options available to you, how they work, the commitment involved and any side effects — so you can make an informed choice. Nothing is decided by a calculator or a form.
Discussed at consultation
Nutrition & lifestyle plan
Practical, realistic guidance on eating, movement and sleep that fits your life, not a crash diet. This underpins everything else we do.
Included
Regular reviews
Scheduled check-ins to track progress, adjust your plan and manage any side effects. You'll always see a pharmacist, not a chatbot.
£XX per review
Ongoing support
Questions between appointments? Call or message the branch and a member of the pharmacy team will get back to you.
Included
Not sure whether it's for you? Use the eligibility guide above or book a consultation — an honest 'not yet' is a perfectly good outcome, and we'll still send you away with a plan.
Our locations
Two Doncaster pharmacies, one clinical team.
Weight management consultations run at both branches. Pick whichever is easier to reach — or Askern if you need a Saturday.
Our clinical team
A clinical team you can actually talk to.
Every consultation and review is led by a GPhC-registered pharmacist, supported by our pharmacy team who handle bookings and questions between appointments.
Frequently asked questions
Weight management in Doncaster — your questions answered.
Straight answers on eligibility, what happens at your appointment and why we can't list treatments online. Can't see your question? Call us or ask at your consultation.
Who is eligible for pharmacist-led weight management in Doncaster?
Adults aged 18 and over with a BMI of 30 or more, or 27 or more alongside a weight-related health condition such as type 2 diabetes, high blood pressure or sleep apnoea. Lower thresholds may apply for people from some ethnic backgrounds. Eligibility is always confirmed by a pharmacist at your consultation, never by an online calculator.
Do I need a GP referral?
No. You can book a private consultation directly with Doncaster Clinics. With your permission we will let your GP know about any treatment you start so your records stay joined up.
What happens at the first appointment?
Around 30 minutes, in a private consultation room. We measure your weight, height and BMI, take a full medical and medicines history, talk about your goals and check whether clinical weight management is suitable for you. If it is, your pharmacist will explain the options available and what each involves.
Why don't you list treatments or prices on this website?
Weight-loss medicines are prescription-only, and UK law does not allow them to be advertised to the public. We can only discuss specific treatments and their costs face to face once a pharmacist has assessed you. The consultation and review fees are listed on this page.
How much weight will I lose?
We can't and won't promise a number. Results vary from person to person and depend on the treatment, your starting point and the lifestyle changes you make alongside it. Your pharmacist will talk through realistic expectations with you at your consultation.
Is it safe, and what about side effects?
Every option we offer is licensed in the UK and only supplied after a clinical assessment. All treatments can have side effects, which your pharmacist will explain before you decide, and we monitor you at regular reviews. If something isn't suiting you, we'll adjust the plan.
What if I'm not eligible?
We'll tell you honestly. A healthy-weight patient will never be offered clinical treatment. If your BMI is below the threshold we can still help with nutrition and lifestyle advice, or signpost you to NHS services or your GP if that's more appropriate.
Which branch should I book — Hyde Park or Askern?
Both branches run the full service. Hyde Park Pharmacy on Carr House Road is closest to Doncaster town centre and opens Monday to Friday. Askern Pharmacy on Church Street also opens on Saturday mornings if you need a weekend appointment.
Is everything confidential?
Yes. Consultations take place in a private room and your records are held under pharmacy confidentiality rules. Nothing is shared with your GP without your agreement.
I'm worried about my eating or my relationship with food. Can you help?
Please come and talk to us, or speak to your GP. Clinical weight management isn't the right route in that situation, but we can point you towards the right support. Beat, the UK's eating disorder charity, also runs a helpline on 0808 801 0677.
Book a consultation
Choose a branch, pick a time, done.
