How it works
Go to the tools page. Select Weight Loss Programs. You can select the star icon on the tool and this will create a shortcut on your dashboard for ease of future use
![Smartphone screen displaying an app's "Tools" section on a purple background. Visible options include "Weight Loss Programs" and "Private Treatment Plans.](/_next/image?url=https%3A%2F%2Fnpcms.nowpatient.com%2Fwp-content%2Fuploads%2F2024%2F06%2Fwl2-step-01.png&w=3840&q=75)
If your health profile is up to date, we can check to see if you would benefit from the service. If you do qualify, the recommendation will be visible in ‘My Notifications’ on your dashboard
![A smartphone screen displays an app with the section "My Favorite Tools". A personal recommendation for "Weight Loss Programs" is highlighted in green. The background is purple with shield icons.](/_next/image?url=https%3A%2F%2Fnpcms.nowpatient.com%2Fwp-content%2Fuploads%2F2024%2F06%2Fretry08step-02.png&w=3840&q=75)
If you have not completed your health profile, you can still check if you qualify for treatment by selecting the action button ‘Check eligibility’
![A smartphone screen displaying a health app interface.

Complete the short screening quiz. This will determine if you are eligible for the service

If you pass the screening quiz, select a time and date for your consultation. You can also choose your preferred language
![A smartphone screen displays a consultation booking interface. It shows options for preferred consultation time at 8:40 PM, language choice of English, and a service for weight loss programs.](/_next/image?url=https%3A%2F%2Fnpcms.nowpatient.com%2Fwp-content%2Fuploads%2F2024%2F06%2F08step-05-1.png&w=3840&q=75)
You will now see a list of clinicians who are specially trained to provide the service that you have chosen. You can filter clinicians by gender. Once you have selected your clinician, you will be able to confirm the booking and add the appointment date to your calendar.

You will receive an email and notification reminder, 30 minutes before the consultation starts. You will also be able to track your consultation in ‘My Consultations’ located on your dashboard
![A smartphone displays a health app screen. The app shows an upcoming consultation for "Weight Loss Programs" scheduled for May 22, 2024, with clinician John McCollin.](/_next/image?url=https%3A%2F%2Fnpcms.nowpatient.com%2Fwp-content%2Fuploads%2F2024%2F06%2F08step-07-1.png&w=3840&q=75)
During the consultation, the clinician will assess and diagnose your health condition. If the clinician determines that it is safe and appropriate to prescribe a weight loss treatment, then you will be issued a prescription
![A smartphone screen shows a video call between a man wearing a headset and a woman. The man's label reads "Dr. A.N.Other". The background is purple with shield icons.](/_next/image?url=https%3A%2F%2Fnpcms.nowpatient.com%2Fwp-content%2Fuploads%2F2024%2F06%2F08step-08-1.png&w=3840&q=75)
Your prescription order will now be available in your shopping cart

After you have checked out, your order will be processed and dispatched. The tracking code will appear in ‘My Notifications’. You will also receive a notification summarising the consultation, including any advisories such as dietary or exercise advice issued by the clinician
