Best GLP-1 Clinics in the UK (2026): Compared by Price, Support, and Medication
The UK market for online GLP-1 prescribing has expanded fast. Two years ago there were a handful of services. Now there are dozens. The quality varies significantly, the pricing varies wildly, and the difference between a good and a bad clinic can be the difference between a safe, supported experience and a frustrating one where you can't get anyone to answer a question.
This guide compares 8 UK GLP-1 services on the criteria that actually matter: price per month, medications available, support quality, consultation process, and who each one genuinely suits.
Amy’s Take
What to Look for in a GLP-1 Clinic
Before the comparison, here is the framework I used to assess each clinic:
Price: Monthly cost at therapeutic dose, not the introductory rate. Check what happens when the dose escalates.
Medication options: Does the clinic offer both Wegovy (semaglutide) and Mounjaro (tirzepatide)? Some are semaglutide-only, which may not suit everyone.
Support level: What happens between consultations? Can you message a clinician? Is there a nurse or coach available? This matters most in the first 8 weeks.
Consultation quality: Is the initial consultation a genuine clinical assessment, or a box-ticking form? Is the prescriber a doctor or nurse practitioner?
Eligibility criteria: Most follow standard BMI thresholds (30+ or 27+ with a weight-related condition), but some are more flexible.
Delivery speed: How quickly does medication arrive after prescription?
The Comparison
*NHS Wegovy access is currently restricted to specialist NHS weight management services. See NHS Wegovy eligibility in the UK 2026 for current criteria.
Clinic-by-Clinic Breakdown
Voy
Voy is currently the highest-volume online GLP-1 clinic in the UK, with over 1.5 million patients at the time of writing. It prescribes both Wegovy and Mounjaro, offers an initial medical questionnaire followed by a nurse consultation, and delivers medication within 3-5 working days.
The pricing is competitive and does not spike significantly as doses escalate. Support between consultations is available via a messaging function, though response times can vary during busy periods. It is not the most comprehensive support package available, but for a straightforward onboarding and reliable supply chain, it performs well.
Best for: Women who want a solid, reputable service without the premium for extensive coaching.
Limitations: Support between consultations is functional rather than intensive. If you need a lot of guidance in the early weeks, you may find the support level lean.
Read the full Voy review 2026 for a detailed assessment.
Voy
The UK's leading online GLP-1 clinic. Prescribes Wegovy and Mounjaro after a nurse-led consultation. Competitive pricing, fast delivery, ongoing nurse check-ins, and a medically regulated supply chain. No GP referral needed.
View on Voy →Lola Health
Lola Health is built explicitly for women and integrates hormonal health context into its GLP-1 programme in a way that no other service currently does. The onboarding process asks about menstrual cycle, perimenopause status, PCOS, and thyroid history, and the coaching is tailored accordingly.
The support structure includes both clinical nurse consultations and women's health coaches who can support with nutrition, exercise, and the psychological dimensions of weight. The pricing reflects this additional layer.
For women with PCOS, perimenopausal symptoms, or a history of hormonal weight gain, the women-specific framing here genuinely adds value. A generic clinic does not ask the right questions about this context.
Best for: Women with PCOS, perimenopause, hormonal weight patterns, or those who want coaching that understands the female body.
Limitations: Higher monthly cost than Voy. The women-specific programme may feel like overkill for someone with uncomplicated obesity and no hormonal factors.
Read the full Lola Health review 2026 for a complete breakdown.
Lola Health
The UK's women-first GLP-1 programme. Integrates hormonal health, menstrual cycle context, and nutrition coaching with GLP-1 prescription. Specifically designed for women managing weight alongside PCOS, perimenopause, or hormonal patterns. Prescribes Wegovy and Mounjaro.
View on Lola Health →Juniper
Juniper offers a health coaching-led programme alongside GLP-1 prescription. The support model leans heavily on community: a peer group of other women in the programme who share progress, recipes, and strategies. Some find this invaluable. Others find it is not what they need.
Clinically, Juniper's consultation process is solid and it prescribes both medications. Pricing is comparable to Voy. The community layer is the differentiator.
Best for: Women who are motivated by group accountability and want social support as part of their weight loss journey.
Limitations: If peer community is not something you value, the pricing advantage over Lola Health is modest.
Second Nature
Second Nature was a structured behaviour change programme before it added GLP-1 medication to its offering. The result is a service that takes the lifestyle component seriously. Dietitian-led group sessions, a digital programme, and health coach support are built in.
Currently Second Nature prescribes Wegovy but not Mounjaro. For women where Mounjaro might be more appropriate (particularly those with higher BMI or previous Wegovy non-response), this is a limiting factor.
Best for: Women who want a rigorous lifestyle behaviour change framework alongside medication.
Limitations: Semaglutide only. If you want Mounjaro, you need to look elsewhere.
Boots Online Doctor
Boots' online prescribing service carries the significant advantage of brand trust and an integrated pharmacy supply chain. The clinical process is competent and the platform is well-designed. Pricing is at the higher end of the mid-range.
Support between consultations is more limited than at specialist weight management clinics. Boots is pharmacy-first rather than coaching-first, and the experience reflects this.
Best for: Women who trust the Boots brand, want straightforward prescription and supply, and have a GP relationship for any clinical questions.
Limitations: No specialist weight management coaching. Not the best option if you anticipate needing significant clinical support.
Manual Health
Manual started as a men's health platform and has expanded into weight management for all. The onboarding is quick and the clinical process is efficient. Both medications are available.
The support model is clinician messaging, which is functional. There is no coaching or community layer. Manual works well for people who want the medication without the programme.
Best for: Anyone who wants a competent, no-frills prescription service.
Limitations: Not designed with women's health in mind. No coaching or lifestyle support.
Numan
Numan was founded as a men's health service and remains primarily oriented that way. It does prescribe to women, and the clinical process is medically sound. Pricing is competitive.
If you are comfortable with a service not designed around female health, Numan is a functional option. If you want any degree of women-specific context, look elsewhere.
Best for: Men, or women who want a budget option and have no interest in women-specific programming.
Limitations: No women-specific clinical framework.
NHS Pathway
The NHS route is the right answer for those who qualify and can wait. Ozempic (semaglutide at diabetes doses) is available to people with type 2 diabetes through their GP, often freely. Wegovy at obesity doses is currently restricted to specialist NHS weight management clinics.
Access to specialist weight management is improving as the NHS rolls out its commitments, but waiting lists exist and eligibility criteria apply. The clinical support when you reach specialist care is thorough, but the pathway requires patience.
Best for: Women with type 2 diabetes (Ozempic route through GP is faster), or those with BMI 35+ who can access specialist referral.
Limitations: Waiting time. NHS Wegovy eligibility criteria are strict. See NHS Wegovy eligibility UK 2026 for the current criteria.
Condition-Specific Recommendations
PCOS: Lola Health is the strongest option for women with PCOS because the clinical team understands the hormonal context. Voy is a reasonable alternative. For full condition context, see GLP-1 for PCOS UK.
Perimenopause and menopause-related weight: Lola Health's programme addresses the intersection of GLP-1 treatment and hormonal transition directly. See GLP-1 and menopause weight loss UK for the evidence base.
Managing side effects: Whichever clinic you choose, having a nurse or clinician you can contact during the first 8 weeks is important. For detailed guidance on managing side effects, see Wegovy side effects in women.
Research
STEP 1 Trial, Wilding et al., NEJM 2021
Semaglutide 2.4mg weekly produced mean weight reduction of 14.9% versus 2.4% with placebo at 68 weeks. Clinical support during treatment significantly improved adherence and outcomes.
View study →Blood Tests: What to Do Before You Start
Regardless of which clinic you choose, baseline blood tests before starting are sensible. Most private clinics run basic tests as part of their onboarding. If yours does not, or if you want a more comprehensive baseline, Medichecks provides reliable private blood testing.
Medichecks
Private blood testing by post. Relevant pre-GLP-1 tests include HbA1c, fasting glucose, liver function, thyroid, full blood count, and ferritin. Results delivered online within 24-48 hours, reviewed by a doctor. No GP referral needed.
