Well by Vertis Launches GLP-1 Weight Loss Injections Supported by Expert Telehealth Services
Well by Vertis, part of Vertis Health, has officially launched its pioneering healthcare service, offering GLP-1 injections for weight loss – supported by consistent, one-to-one telehealth appointments with UK-registered GPs or specialist nurses.
This launch comes at a time of growing patient demand for effective weight management solutions, which in turn led to an urgent warning from the UK’s medicines regulator about the risks of purchasing weight loss medications without a prescription. The service aims to discourage unsafe practices by providing a trusted alternative backed by experienced healthcare professionals.
GLP-1 agonists, traditionally used for managing Type 2 diabetes, have been gaining traction as a highly effective treatment for obesity. However, the improper use of these medications – often obtained from unregulated online sources – poses risks to patient safety. Well by Vertis steps in to fill a critical gap in the market by offering an affordable, clinically safe service with expert medical oversight at every step.
Stephanie Smith, Lead Nurse at Well by Vertis, said, “We’ve seen an alarming rise in patients accessing GLP-1 medications from dubious online sources or compounded forms, which can be dangerous without proper medical support.
“At Well by Vertis, we’re always at hand to provide a safe and accessible solution, giving patients expert guidance and monitoring throughout their weight loss journey. Our service helps patients achieve their goals safely, with the reassurance of personalised care from experienced professionals.”
The Well by Vertis service model is designed to be affordable without ever compromising patient safety. Each patient receives regular video consultations with a senior GP or Advanced Nurse Practitioner trained in GLP-1 prescribing and weight management.
These consultations provide ongoing monitoring, tailored advice, and adjustments to treatment plans as needed. By focusing on comprehensive care, Well by Vertis aims to deliver better patient outcomes compared to online pharmacies.
In addition to improving individual health outcomes, Well by Vertis has a unique community-first approach. Revenues from the service are reinvested into local Primary Care services, improving the healthcare infrastructure for Worcestershire and beyond.
