Independent comparison
We are not owned by any weight loss provider or clinic. Our goal is to help you make a more informed choice, not push one plan over another.
About us
Independent care navigation for weight loss treatment in the UK
HSMA is a free, independent service designed to help individuals in the UK make more informed decisions about weight loss treatment. We bring together medically proven options, vetted providers, and transparent pricing comparisons so you can explore with confidence.
We are not a clinic or prescriber. Our role is to surface the right providers, explain the realistic differences between treatments, and help you compare plans side by side before you speak to a clinician.
Why trust HSMA
Built on independence, clinical accuracy, and transparency
We know that choosing a weight loss treatment route can feel overwhelming. HSMA is designed to be the calm, trusted starting point we wish we had when navigating this journey ourselves.
Clinically grounded guidance
Our suitability guidance, eligibility criteria, and treatment descriptions are reviewed against current UK prescribing frameworks and NICE-aligned pathways.
Transparent by design
Where providers share pricing, support features, and onboarding steps, we present them side by side so you can compare like-for-like without surprise charges.
Privacy-first by default
Your eligibility responses are stored securely and never sold. We use them only to surface the providers and plans that may be relevant to you.
How we work
How we vet, research, and curate each provider
Every provider in the HSMA directory goes through a structured four-step review before we publish treatment comparisons, pricing, or support feature details. This process is ongoing, and we regularly re-check information to keep it current.
Identify the provider
We pull together publicly verified information about each provider, including registration details where available.
Check the clinical pathway
We map the consultation, prescribing, and aftercare process against expected UK care standards, including blood tests and clinical reviews.
Structure the comparison
We normalise treatment pricing, dose steps, and support features so you can compare providers on the same basis.
Keep it up to date
We refresh our directory regularly and always direct you to the latest information on the provider's own pages before you commit.
What we do — and don't
Clear about our role from the start
Setting the right expectations is important to us. The list below explains exactly where HSMA fits in your weight loss care journey, and where we intentionally step back.
What we do
- Help you find providers offering treatments such as Mounjaro, Wegovy, Saxenda, and orlistat
- Present pricing, support features, and onboarding steps in a clear side-by-side format
- Offer a free suitability test to narrow your options before you compare
- Link you directly to each provider's sign-up flow with clear UTM and referral tracking
- Explain common side effects, dosing steps, and realistic timelines in plain language
What we don't do
- Prescribe, dispense, or supply medication of any kind
- Act as your treating clinician or replace the advice of a registered prescriber
- Rank providers by commercial incentive or payment
- Share your personal health information with providers without your explicit consent
- Promise any specific outcome, weight loss result, or treatment success
Our commitments
The four promises that shape your experience
01
We put individuals first
Every section, comparison table, and treatment guide is written for the person using the service — not for shareholders or partner clinics.
02
We explain the downsides clearly
Side effects, dose steps, waiting periods, and plan exclusions are documented in every treatment guide so you know what to expect.
03
We recommend provider exploration first
Before you submit forms or payments, we encourage side-by-side provider review so you can match support style, cost, and clinical fit to your own priorities.
04
We keep clinical references current
Our content is regularly reviewed against the latest UK prescribing guidance, regulatory updates, and widely accepted evidence.
Clinical standards
Evidence-based content, written for people; not marketing funnels
Every treatment guide, injection-site explainer, and side-effect playbook is developed using widely accepted clinical references and reviewed against current UK practice. We avoid overpromising language and always leave room for individual variation.
NICE-aligned treatment summaries
Eligibility criteria and route descriptions are checked against NICE TA863, TA880, and current Scottish and Welsh prescribing guidance where applicable.
Pharmacy and clinic registration
Where providers share their GPhC or CQC registration details, we display them prominently on each provider page alongside a direct link to the public register entry.
Honest expectations, every time
We document realistic timelines, common side effects during dose build-up, and when to contact the prescriber — so you are not comparing just price.
What people say
Used by individuals across the UK to find a plan that actually fits
"I spent weeks jumping between websites trying to understand the real cost of Wegovy. HSMA laid out dose pricing and introductory offers side by side, and I finally felt ready to choose a provider."
Lauren T.
38, Birmingham
"The suitability test helped me realise I should be looking at non-medication options alongside injectable plans. I wasn't aware how much support varied between providers until I compared them here."
David R.
49, Manchester
"I was sceptical about using a comparison site for weight loss, but the level of detail on side effects and aftercare was exactly what I needed to have a useful first conversation with my GP."
