Contract Information
Our Slimmr online weight loss clinic includes the prescribing and supply of medications and provision of related support services. Where this applies to you, the terms set out below along with all information and documents referred to in it will apply. Any website terms of use or terms of sale made available to you will also apply to any orders placed by you via this website but these Terms will apply where there is any contradiction.
Understanding Slimmr
You acknowledge and agree that the Slimmr Service is a personalised self-help system designed to help you improve your own wellbeing and that if you choose to access the Slimmr Service you are solely responsible for deciding which of the suggested techniques you put into practice and how to apply those techniques. You also acknowledge and agree that Slimmr is not a medical organisation and that the Slimmr Service is not intended to diagnose, treat or otherwise address any medical problem. Slimmr may contract with pharmacists to provide medication to assist in weight loss, but this is at the users’ discretion. The material on the System, whether posted by Slimmr employees, or other users, is provided for your information and not as medical advice and should not be seen as a replacement for consultation with a doctor or other qualified care professional. You are urged to seek the advice of a doctor before beginning any weight loss programme. If you receive advice from a doctor or other qualified medical professional which conflicts with anything contained in the System, then the former should take precedence. The Slimmr Service and this Website are not intended for use by minors, or pregnant women. Individuals with any type of health condition are specifically warned to seek professional medical advice prior to initiating any form of weight loss programme.
Your health and Slimmr
You are urged and advised to seek the advice of a doctor before beginning any lifestyle improvement program. If you have any other concerns or questions about your health or medicines, you should always consult an appropriate healthcare professional. Be cautious about embarking on vigorous exercise if you have any serious medical condition, including (but not limited to) back pain, high blood pressure or heart disease, or if you are pregnant. Always seek professional medical advice when contemplating any changes in your prescribed medicines. This programme is intended as a lifestyle change guide and is therefore not classified as a medical device, meaning the programme should not replace any existing recommendations that have been given by a health care professional. The content is not intended to be a substitute for professional medical advice, support, diagnosis, or treatment. Those with suspected eating disorders (either past or current) may be deemed ineligible to partake in the programme. Current best practice to diagnose and treat eating disorders supports the use of in-person therapy. Those with either a current eating disorder diagnosis, or a historic eating disorder diagnosis, are ineligible to partake in the programme. Slimmr is not suitable for women who are pregnant due to the different nutritional requirements to support growth and development during pregnancy. If we find, or are alerted to, a mistake, we will correct it as quickly as possible. However, to the fullest extent permitted by applicable laws, the authors, editors and publishers are not responsible for errors or omissions, or for any consequences arising from application of the information on the System, and make no warranty, express or implied, with respect to the contents, completeness or accuracy of the material published.
Medication information leaflet & communicating with our registered healthcare partner
If a clinician determines that medication is suitable for you, we require that all patients ordering from us read the patient medication leaflet for the treatment being ordered. This outlines some of the side effects and contraindications for the medication. Please ensure you have read this so you can make an informed decision as to whether this medication is right for you. We prescribe medication in good faith that the information you have supplied in your consultation form is correct. You must only use the treatment for yourself. Place prescription products in your fridge immediately upon delivery. You take full responsibility for the medication pen upon receiving it. You’re responsible for injecting the medication correctly and within the prescribed dose plan, and any loss of medication will not be replaced free of charge by us or our prescribing partners. Replacement will result in you paying the full cost for another pen.
You also agree that a clinician will review your consultation form to determine if this medication is suitable for you before prescribing the medication. We will share your details and responses from the consultation questionnaire, and any follow-up questions/responses with our registered healthcare partner, so that their prescribers can conduct a clinical assessment, prescribe, dispense, and deliver the medication. Where applicable, we will also share this with our other service provider partners.
You must answer all questions accurately and truthfully so that your Prescriber can make appropriate decisions that are safe for you. You understand that incorrect or false information could put your health at risk.
Everyone is different. Our bodies respond to medications in different ways. Some people may experience side effects from this medication, while others won’t. While most people get on really well with Wegovy or Mounjaro, they’re not right for everyone. We are unable to accept any liability for side effects experienced from this medication and are unable to provide refunds if you experience side effects, the results do not meet your expectations or you do not lose the weight you were aiming for.

Information Provided by You and About You
Some of our products and services include medications. In order to receive these services or buy these medications you will need to provide us with both personal information (such as your name and address) and sensitive personal information (such as your symptoms, medication you take and pre-existing medical conditions).
You must ensure at all times that the information that you provide to us is accurate, up-to-date and complete and that, if there are any errors, you correct these immediately.
Any personal information that you provide to us or our healthcare partner will be processed in line with the Privacy Notice available here: https://getslimmr.co.uk/privacy-policy/.
You confirm that any information you provide is true and accurate and we and our healthcare partner are not liable for any inaccuracies in the information that you provide.
Note that you must notify us immediately (and update the details on your account) if at any point any information that you have shared with us changes or becomes untrue (for example, if you are investigated for a new condition, become pregnant or start taking a new medication).
Online Consultations & Further Consultations
Some services will require you to complete an online consultation form. Where this applies, you should take care to ensure that you understand the questions asked and that any information you provide here is up-to date, complete and true. Any incorrect or false information may put your health at risk.
We will send the information provided to us on sign up and in the consultation form to the clinician and/or our healthcare partner for review and approval (including prescribing). We do not guarantee that a consultation review by the clinician and/or our healthcare partner will result in approval and issuing of a prescription. It is at the discretion of the clinician and/or our healthcare partner to approve or reject your order.
Our healthcare partner may also deem that an online consultation is not suitable in your case. In this case you may be required to consult with the clinician via phone or video consultation. Please note that if you feel that an online consultation is not suited to your needs, or you do not understand the questions asked in the online consultation form, you too can request a phone or video consultation. This will need to be booked in advance and is subject to availability.
Check-In Forms
Some services will require you to provide information to the clinicians and/or our healthcare partner on an ongoing, regular basis. This might include information on how your medication is working for you, if you are suffering from any side effects and if you need any additional support. You agree that you will complete any check-in forms as required on-time and you understand that failure to do so may result in your treatment being interrupted or ceased and could harm your health.
Use of Your Information & Contacting You
You understand that the clinician prescribing your medication and the healthcare partner dispensing your medication will act in your best interest and will use the information you have provided to determine if the medicine is safe and appropriate for you.
The decision on whether or not to accept or decline an order is at our healthcare partner’s sole discretion, based on their medical assessment of the information that you have provided. You understand that any incorrect and / or inaccurate information may lead to harm to your health and even death.
If our healthcare partner has any further questions or wishes to clarify any information provided they will reach out to you via your preferred method of contact, this is usually via email or telephone.
If a decision is made that a treatment or medicine is not suitable for you, our healthcare partner will endeavour to reach out and provide an explanation of why the treatment was declined. In this case you will not be charged and if you have already paid this will be refunded to you in full.
SCR Access & Review
Most people in England have a Summary Care Record (SCR). Your SCR contains information such as your: (a) current medication, (b) allergies and details of any previous bad reactions to medicines and (c) name, address, date of birth and NHS number.
A SCR will also contain additional Information, such as details of long-term conditions, significant medical history or specific communications needs, unless you have communicated to the NHS or your GP that you do not wish for this to be included.
Our healthcare partner’s clinicians are trained Healthcare professionals and are able to access your SCR so they can make sure treatments they initiate and medication they prescribe are in your best interest. It allows them to make decisions safely with confidence and reduce the risk of prescribing errors.
If your GP has enabled it, you too can access the information that is held in your SCR via the NHS app.
Our healthcare partner’s clinicians and pharmacists will seek to review your SCR when reviewing your order, prescribing the medication and dispensing the medication. In some cases our healthcare partner will still be able to provide you with the treatment without access to your SCR. However, to ensure that you are provided with the best service, we strongly advise you to give our healthcare partner consent to do so.
In some cases, consent to access your SCR will be required for us to provide the services, you understand that without this we cannot prescribe or supply you with the medication.
You can contact our healthcare partner at any time to withdraw your consent, noting that this may mean they have to cease your treatment.
Record Keeping
In order for our healthcare partner to operate safely, they will create an electronic patient record for you. This will include any information you provide to us (or directly to our healthcare partner) and records of medication supplied to you. You consent to us (or our healthcare partner) storing and processing your information within our systems in order to maintain this record.
You understand that it is your responsibility to notify us and our healthcare partner immediately (and update the details on your account) if any information you have provided to us changes or becomes untrue (for example, if you are investigated for a new condition, become pregnant or start taking a new medication).
You understand that we or our healthcare partner may need to archive your information for a period of time. In most cases, this is eight (8) years after your last treatment, however some records are kept for different lengths of time and may be destroyed sooner.
Prescribing Medication
Age Identity Verification
In order to place an order for medication, you must be eighteen (18) or over and you must be in the United Kingdom. Our healthcare partner only delivers medication to addresses in England, Scotland, Wales and Northern Ireland.
To provide you with pharmacy services as part of your service, to ensure that you are a genuine patient and as the healthcare partner is providing services at a distance, your age and identity will need to be verified. In order to do this, third party service providers are used and they carry out the required searches, including searches on consumer credit records.
By signing up to a service or selecting a product which includes pharmacy services, you consent to us (or our healthcare partner) using a third party service provider (and / or any of their appointed agents) to carry out the necessary searches, verify your identity and you agree to us (or our healthcare partner) sharing the information required for them to do so. This includes information such as your name, date of birth and address.
By consenting, you understand that your personal data will be processed in line with the service providers’ privacy notices and can find the relevant privacy notices here https://getslimmr.co.uk/privacy-policy/ and by contacting our healthcare partners.
Choice of Treatment
After you complete an online consultation form you may, in some cases, be shown a range of possible treatments – the options and prices are indicative only. Ultimately the clinicians will determine if the medication is safe and appropriate for you, by assessing your best interests based on all relevant information.
To ensure adherence to best practice, professional codes of practice and remain within legislation and regulatory guidance, the clinician and/or healthcare partner makes no binding commitments to prescribe and/or supply you with the medication that was initially offered or selected and reserves the right to reject any orders. The healthcare partner also reserves the right to limit the amount and frequency of medication supplied and reject orders. In any event, you will only be charged for the medication that is supplied.
The healthcare partner endeavours to keep you informed of its decisions and, where possible, make decisions after consulting with you.
Primary Care Notification
It is important that your GP is kept informed of any medication or treatment you are receiving outside of their care. This is because they may hold the most complete records about your health, which is important for the provision of safe and effective care.
Unless you explicitly ask us or our Partner Pharmacy not to, or it is determined that it is not essential for the provision of services, your GP will be informed about any medications or treatments that are provided to you.
It is important that you understand that not sharing this information may put you at risk and result in disjointed care. Therefore, this information sharing is essential. If you ask for information not to be shared, or you revoke your consent, this may mean that we will be unable to provide you with our services.
Where it is determined that we can provide services in the absence of Primary Care Notification, you agree that you are personally responsible for and will notify your GP and other health and care providers that you are undergoing treatment or using medication.
If you would like to revoke your consent and opt out of Primary Care Notification, please email our healthcare partner. For more information on consent and confidential patient information, please see https://transform.england.nhs.uk/information-governance/guidance/consent-and-confidential-patient-information/.
Dispensing & Delivery of Medication
Our healthcare partner’s clinicians and pharmacy team work closely together and with us. This helps us to try to ensure that the treatments prescribed to you are kept in stock, delivered promptly (usually next day after processing) and supplied to you at the best price possible.
Upon receipt of the relevant information (including your completed questionnaire and consultation) and payment, our healthcare partner will aim to respond to you within 24 hours on a weekday and 48 hours on a weekend (subject to any national or bank holidays). Please note that these timeframes are guidelines only and, although our healthcare partner will do its best to meet them, it cannot guarantee them.
Please note, when you place your order you are likely to be given a ‘next available’ delivery date. While we will endeavour to deliver on this date, we cannot guarantee the delivery day when you place your order. This is because our prescribers may need to check your medical records or clarify answers to your form. They may also need to contact you directly. As a result, processing your order may be delayed. Occasionally there may also be delays in delivery as there as national shortages in stock of some medication which is out of the control of Slimmr. If it is not possible to delivery your order on the day you have selected, we will do our best to contact you and let you know, and keep you updated on when you can expect your order.
If the clinician approves your treatment and issues you a prescription, this will be transferred to their pharmacy team for processing, dispensing and delivery. Where approved, our healthcare partner will fulfil and dispense your prescription.
If you prefer, our healthcare partner’s prescribers can transfer your prescription to another pharmacy or provide this to you to have dispensed at a pharmacy of your choice. Please note that in this case the price shown on our website will not apply, as you will need to pay the dispensing pharmacy directly the price they choose to charge.
There will also be a consultation fee (inclusive of a prescribing fee) payable to our healthcare partner and an administration fee, either for the platform our healthcare partner uses to securely transfer your electronic prescription to the pharmacy of your choice or for posting this out to you by tracked post.
Cancellation & Refunds
There is a narrow window for cancellation between when you place the order and when it is processed by our pharmacy if you contact us with your name and order number. Once it has been processed, or if your medication has been dispatched, there is no a cancellation policy in place – this is because after your review and it has been allocated to you it legally cannot be used by anyone else. After this, you are unable to cancel your order and we will be unable to offer a refund.
Once an order has been placed by you, it is usually processed promptly though this will be dependent on stock being available. As with any medication supplied by a pharmacy, once it has left the healthcare partner’s location, it cannot be refunded. Processing and shipping will be dependent on the availability of stock and your order may include the choice of a ‘next available delivery day.’ Should there be clinical queries or delays (or we need to contact you), we may be unable to meet this delivery day. We are not to be held responsible for any delays to delivery. We will use secure delivery methods which may require you to have a passcode to allow our courier to hand over the order because this is a prescription medication – if you have arranged for someone else to be present for delivery, they will also need this pin code. We will communicate this code to you and are not held responsible for delays or issues with delivery. If the parcel is returned to us because of repeated delivery attempts, or because you did not have the code, we will not issue a replacement or refund. There may be a charge for further delivery attempts.
Whilst our healthcare partner may, under some special circumstances and at its discretion, consider a cancellation request, you agree that once you place the order, you have no legal right to cancel your order under The Consumer Protection (Distance Selling) Regulations 2000, The Consumer Contracts (Information, Cancellation and Additional Charges) Regulations 2013 or any other applicable consumer protection legislation.
Damage & Errors
Our healthcare partner is not responsible for any damage that may occur in transit and is not liable for any delay or failure caused by circumstances beyond its control, including but is not limited to postal delays, missed deliveries, missed deliveries not collected promptly or similar.
Although our healthcare partner takes all necessary and reasonable precautions for safe transit, if the medication that you receive has been damaged materially, please contact our healthcare partner before use.
Please note that if you have received an item that has been dispensed in error or does not match your prescription, our healthcare partner will accept these returns and correct this error with urgency and as soon as is practicable. Please contact us or our healthcare partner immediately and do not use the medication.
If you have any complaints around the prescription order, please contact the healthcare partner via the contact details above or the manufacturer of the medication.
Use of Medication
Safe Use of Medication
You agree that you will use medications as directed by your clinician and/or our healthcare partner for the symptoms or condition they are prescribed for.
You must read the Patient Information Leaflet (PIL) supplied with your medication prior to using the medication and use the medication as per the manufacturer’s instructions outlined in them.
You will ensure that you do not use medication after its expiration date which is marked on the manufacturer’s box.
You agree that any medicines supplied to you will only be used by yourself for the condition or treatment it was supplied for. You will not share your medication with another person.
You will follow our instructions, including adding the medication to the fridge where directed. You will ensure that you will dispose of medication appropriately. Unused medication should not be thrown in household rubbish or disposed of down the drain. Instead you should return these to the pharmacy (or any pharmacy) who will arrange secure disposal.
We and our healthcare partner attempt to be as accurate as possible in the supply of medication but there is always a slight chance of human error. In the event that you receive medication which is not meant for you, receive incorrect medication, receive the incorrect dose, receive medication which has passed its expiration date or similar, please contact us or our healthcare partner immediately and do not use the medication.
Off-Label Prescribing
Our healthcare partner will only prescribe off-label when doing so is evidence-backed, widely accepted clinical practice and where a suitable alternative licensed medicine is not available or is not suitable for you.
If you are prescribed medication off-label, we will ensure that you are informed about this, what it means and give you a way to ask further questions.
Please be aware that information online and even in the manufacturer’s Patient Information Leaflet may not be tailored to why and how you are off-label.
Please note that where a Treatment Plan contains off-label use of medications, additional safeguards may be added, such as regular check-ins and a requirement for SCR review.
