Virtual Slimming Clinic
Fast, well-reviewed online dispensing, though its pharmacy partner failed a 2026 GPhC inspection.

Our review
The Virtual Slimming Clinic (Quanta Healthcare Ltd) is a fully online service: patients complete a health assessment, a UK clinician reviews it, and Primed Pharmacy dispenses and couriers medication. Pricing is dose-specific: Mounjaro runs £179.99-£309.99/month, Wegovy injection £119-£255/month (plus an unverified £295 "7.2mg" tier that isn't a standard licensed strength). Trustpilot sits at 4.0/5 from 48 reviews — reviewers praise fast dispatch and approachable staff, but a third of reviews are 1-star, including one report of £165 taken with no medication received. A February 2026 GPhC inspection of dispensing partner Primed Pharmacy, focused on its private weight-loss service, found "standards not all met." Note that an unrelated Doncaster company previously traded under the same "Virtual Slimming Clinic" name and was placed into CQC special measures in December 2024 — worth confirming you're on the right domain. Best for those wanting published pricing who can tolerate an uneven review spread.

Things to know
- GPhC inspection of dispensing partner Primed Pharmacy (04/02/2026), focused specifically on its private weight-loss-injection service, found 'standards not all met'.
- A separate, apparently unrelated company — Elements Medical Ltd of Doncaster (now renamed Medisource Services Ltd, Companies House no. 06413642) — also traded as 'The Virtual Slimming Clinic' and was placed into CQC special measures in December 2024 after inspectors found patients covertly filmed without consent and unlicensed medicine imported from Turkey. Companies House shows no shared directors between Elements Medical Ltd/Medisource Services Ltd and Quanta Healthcare Ltd (operator of thevirtualslimmingclinic.co.uk). This could not be fully resolved with available tools — flagged as a name-confusion risk for consumers, not a confirmed link to this specific website.
- MHRA advertising-enforcement records reference both a 'Virtual Slimming Clinic' entity (Nov 2021) and 'Elements Medical Ltd t/a The Virtual Slimming Clinic' (Sept 2024) over promotion of POM/unlicensed medicines; given the name-sharing issue above, it is unclear which entity each action targeted.
