Photo Guidelines for Your Weight Loss Consultation

Last updated: [Insert Date]

To ensure a safe and effective prescribing process, we may require you to upload a recent photograph of yourself as part of your weight loss consultation. This is a clinical requirement to help our healthcare professionals make informed decisions when prescribing medications such as Mounjaro and Wegovy.

1. Why We Require a Photo

  • To verify your identity as part of our clinical governance checks
  • To support accurate Body Mass Index (BMI) assessments
  • To ensure safe prescribing in accordance with GPhC and MHRA guidance

2. What Your Photo Should Show

Please ensure your photo meets the following criteria:

  • Full body photo (front-facing): From head to toe, standing straight, ideally against a plain background
  • Recent: Taken within the last 2 weeks
  • Clear and well-lit: Avoid shadows, filters, or poor lighting
  • No obscured features: Do not wear sunglasses, hats, or face coverings
  • Neutral posture: Arms by your sides and no exaggerated poses

3. Optional Additional Photo

In some cases, we may also request a side-profile image to further support BMI estimation or clinical review.

4. How to Upload

You will be prompted to upload your photo securely during the consultation process. Accepted file formats include:

  • JPEG (.jpg)
  • PNG (.png)
  • Maximum file size: 10MB

5. Data Privacy and Security

All images are stored securely and accessed only by our licensed clinical team. We handle all personal data in accordance with GDPR and our Privacy Policy.
