Advanced Weight Management Services for Neuro Rehab Clients

At Neuro Rehab Medical, we understand the unique challenges faced by individuals with brain injuries, spinal injuries, and complex trauma injuries when it comes to losing weight. Our weight management programme offers a comprehensive approach to help clients achieve and maintain a healthy weight, with dietetic services provided by Neuro Rehab Nutrition.

If clients are eligible to receive Mounjaro (Tirzepatide) through the NHS, we will coordinate with their NHS GP to prescribe it. Following this, our team can support their weight loss journey with comprehensive dietetic support. Should the NHS GP be unwilling to prescribe the medication, or if the NHS support is deemed unsuitable by the client and their care team, we can initiate our specialised neuro rehab weight management programme to ensure they receive the tailored care they need.

Why choose our programme?

Mounjaro (Tirzepatide): The programme features the breakthrough medication Mounjaro (Tirzepatide), which assists in controlling hunger and cravings, making it easier for clients to maintain a calorie deficit and achieve weight loss. This service can be provided by NRWM if the NHS is unable to offer it.

Comprehensive Care Team: Safety is the top priority. Clients will be reviewed and supported by a multidisciplinary team, including doctors, pharmacists, and neuro-rehabilitation dietitians, who collaborate with the rehabilitation team to ensure every aspect of health is monitored and managed effectively.

Blood Test: Understanding nutritional status and hormone levels is crucial for effective and safe weight management, especially when using medications like Mounjaro. The service offers a level of convenience and speed that the NHS cannot provide. By partnering with The Phlebotomy Centre, clients have access to convenient blood tests with quick results, ensuring that their treatment plans are tailored to their specific needs.

Personalised Support: The dedicated health team works closely with clients to identify the root causes of weight gain and develop realistic, sustainable changes that fit their lifestyles. From nutritional advice to motivational support, the team is there to guide clients every step of the way. They provide a detailed analysis of each client’s unique challenges and create customised plans that address specific needs. The goal is to help clients build long-term healthy habits, ensuring that this is the last weight loss programme they will ever need

Virtual and Face-to-Face Appointments: The service offers virtual consultations to clients across the UK as well as face-to-face appointments where possible. Dietetic services are predominantly provided face-to-face as the first choice, ensuring consistent support no matter where clients are located.

Getting Started

  1. Initial Consultation: A dietitian from NRN will determine if clients are eligible for Mounjaro (Tirzepatide) and will write to their GP to consider providing Mounjaro through the NHS. If this is not possible, clients will be referred to the NRWM medical team for further assistance.
  2. Comprehensive Evaluation: Clients begin with a thorough assessment of their medical history and nutritional status to confirm eligibility and prioritise safety within the programme.
  3. Personalised Plan: Clients receive a customised weight management plan, which includes Mounjaro (Tirzepatide) medication tailored to their specific needs, meal planning, and nutritional assessments to ensure safe weight loss that meets their goals.
  4. Ongoing Support: Regular check-ins with the multidisciplinary team to monitor progress, adjust the plan as needed, and provide motivation and support.

At Neuro Rehab Weight Management, the commitment is to help clients achieve their weight loss goals safely and effectively. By joining the programme, clients take the first step towards an improved quality of life.
