Weight Loss Medications
Discover Weight Loss is pleased to be offering medical weight loss options, by providing patients with a non-surgical pathway.
Cecilia Westmacott is a highly experienced Bariatric Clinical Nurse Specialist at Discover Weight Loss, specialising in medical weight management and long-term patient support.
She provides a nurse-led, clinically supervised programme using GLP-1 medications, offering patients an effective non-surgical option for weight loss.
GLP-1 medications can be used in two key ways:
- As a bridge to surgery – helping patients reduce their BMI and optimise health prior to bariatric surgery
- As an alternative to surgery – offering a medically supported option for individuals who are not yet ready to proceed with an operation
Cecilia delivers personalised care through a structured, evidence-based approach, including:
- Comprehensive medical and lifestyle assessments
- Review of previous weight loss methods and medications
- Ongoing monitoring with regular blood tests
- Safe medication titration under specialist oversight
- Education on injection technique, side effects, and long-term management
Medications may include GLP-1 therapies such as semaglutide (Ozempic), liraglutide (Saxenda), or dulaglutide, depending on clinical suitability.
Working closely with the Discover Weight Loss team, Cecilia ensures patients receive safe, supportive, and sustainable care, with a strong focus on improving overall health, confidence, and long-term outcomes.
