Why choose Healthier Weight?

We are registered with the Financial Conduct Authority (FCA) and with the Care Quality Commission (CQC). FCA registration is a legal requirement for offering regulated finance plans that many providers ignore. The FCA also demands a very high standard of regulation from its approved providers. Our registered numbers are:    

Care Quality Commission: RGP1-2312060632 
Financial Conduct Authority: 733775 

We maintain our own medical malpractice insurance and we ensure that our operating surgeons have their own medical malpractice insurance. 

Many will not have their own medical malpractice insurance which poses a risk to their patients in the event of a medical negligence claim.   

We’ve partnered with independent review company Trustpilot to collect unbiased reviews from patients who have used our service.

For prospective patients it’s comforting to read about first-hand experiences with a company before making a commitment and we’re proud of our 8.9/10 rating with Trustpilot.

The British Obesity and Metabolic Surgery Society (BOMSS) provide guidelines for the NHS and private weight loss surgery providers and we observe and follow those guidelines. Our multi-disciplinary team meets weekly to review cases pre-operatively. We also have a Bariatric (weight loss surgery) Advisory Board to ensure that our practices and processes remain in line with good practice and recognise the latest published data.

Healthier Weight is a professionally run organisation with governance structures that provide protection for patients, for staff and for our investors. We have monthly Board meetings and regular clinical governance meetings at which our patients outcomes are reviewed in detail. This is part of a continuous improvement programme we are committed to.

Healthier Weight has never been placed into administration unlike many weight loss and cosmetic surgery providers. It is an important factor as if a company goes into administration it leaves its responsibilities to past patients and suppliers in the old company, and starts afresh. If your provider goes into administration their responsibilities, for example a warranty they may have provided to you, under your contract are no longer enforceable.

We publish our data unlike other private providers. It means that you can be confident about the results we achieve as they are independently reviewed and scrutinised. It should give peace of mind for new patients.
