If you’ve tried to lose weight before — cut things out, moved more, started again every Monday — and your body simply hasn’t responded the way you hoped, the problem may not be your willpower. Weight is medical. It’s shaped by your hormones, your metabolism, your sleep, your history and your health, and those are things a doctor can actually look at.
RosMedics runs a doctor-led, medically supervised weight loss and weight management service in the heart of Cardiff. It begins with a proper consultation and a full personal assessment with Dr Rukhsana Jabar (Dr Ros), a GMC-registered doctor with a special interest in hormones, longevity and health optimisation. From there, you and the doctor build a plan that fits your body and your life — with ongoing monitoring and follow-up, not a one-off appointment and a goodbye. Think of it as a private GP alternative for people who want their weight taken seriously, by a doctor, in a regulated clinic.
Most weight-loss “solutions” skip the one step that actually matters: understanding why your body holds on to weight in the first place. A medically supervised programme starts there.
A weight-management programme at RosMedics is a process, not a single appointment. Typically it includes:
Important: not everyone is suitable for every part of this service. What’s right for you is decided by the doctor at your assessment, and all treatment carries risks that Dr Ros will discuss with you openly before anything begins.
This service is for adults who want medically grounded help with their weight. It may be a good fit if:
If your main struggle is persistent tiredness or exhaustion rather than the weight itself, that can sometimes point to other causes, such as iron deficiency — our sister clinic, IronOx, looks after that side of things, and Dr Ros can help you work out which door is the right one.
This service is for adults only. It is not for anyone who is already a healthy weight and simply wants to slim, nor for managing weight during pregnancy. If you’re unsure whether it’s right for you, a consultation is exactly where that question gets answered honestly — eligibility is always assessed individually.
From the first appointment, this is meant to feel different from anywhere you may have tried before. There’s no rush, no judgement and no script. Dr Ros listens to your story, looks at your health properly, and is honest with you about what will and won’t help — including being clear that results vary from person to person and that no outcome can be promised.
You’ll leave with a plan you actually understand and a doctor who stays involved as you go. If treatment is part of your plan, it’s because a doctor has decided it’s clinically appropriate for you, and it’s monitored carefully along the way. The goal isn’t a quick number on the scale; it’s weight loss you can sustain, supported by medical treatment where a doctor decides it’s appropriate and by lifestyle change throughout.
Your initial doctor-led consultation and assessment starts from £TBC (to be confirmed). The exact cost is set out clearly when you book, and there’s no obligation to go further — the consultation is where you and the doctor decide together what, if anything, is right for you.
No referral is needed. You can book directly. Dr Ros will carry out a full assessment herself, and with your consent can liaise with your own GP where that’s helpful for your care.
