Free Weight Loss Consult

Please take this opportunity to book your no obligation consultation with Shirley Lockie (RN MClinSci PNSA Dip PM MSN NP SCOPE Accredited)

Shirley will carry out a metabolic assessment and discuss ways for you to acheive a healthy weight. These might be options for medically managed weight loss, information on the types of surgery available, or referral to other specialists and practitioners, where clinically appropriate.

She will also program appointments and answer any questions you may have about the entire process. This consultation is 100% Medicare funded.

We prefer to conduct consultations in person, as it is usually the most effective way to communicate and diagnose, although we do accept requests for via online video consultation ("Telehealth") where in person consultation is not possible.

This appointment may lead to a clinical appointment conducted by Dr Phil Lockie or other specialists.

Even if a client does not proceed with surgery or other treatments, this practice has an open door policy. This enables the client to have contact with specialists and the facility of the support group.

What You Will Need

Please ensure that you bring all of the items (that are available to you), below:

• Referral letter from your GP (if applicable)
• Medicare card
• Details of your private insurance

** Note From Dr Lockie

Medications will be assessed pre-operatively and post-operatively. With weight-loss and particularly after surgery, comorbidities can change for the better, particularly e.g., hypertension or diabetes. It is essential for your health that medications are discussed with you, your GP and/or any other specialists such as Cardiologist or Endocrinologist etc.

In addition, use of multivitamins, and alternative supplements should be discussed with the practice to promote your better health.
