The UK’s first innovative wellness clinic is set to open in Nottingham, offering in-person support and guidance for individuals using weight-loss medication.
The clinic, launched by Nottingham-founded and doctor-led Shape⁸, will provide a safe, welcoming space for those using GLP-1s, and offer holistic treatments designed to support and complement patients on their weight-loss journey. It will also host support groups and sessions for individuals to attend and connect with others throughout the process.
Located in Radcliffe Road, West Bridgford, the state-of-the-art clinic is set in an easy to access site, just two miles south of Nottingham City Centre and a short walk from West Bridgford’s town centre. It will fill a critical gap in GLP-1 provision, providing long-term invaluable in-person support, encouragement and advice for those using the medication.
Founded by sisters Mandy, Sandy and Saminda Sangha, Shape⁸ is a wellness offering aimed at supporting wellbeing through safe and effective medical solutions. It is the first service in the UK to incorporate nutrition, exercise, emotional wellbeing, and lifestyle habits with medication use.
Mandy said: “Weight-loss medication can be truly transformative, but first-hand experience soon revealed a lack of holistic guidance and structure. GLP-1s aren’t a quick fix solution; they need to be accompanied by ongoing behavioural changes too.”
“Our new Nottingham clinic will be a space to champion this – all while creating a sense of community and a network of support for those who use our services. In a sea of online pharmaceutical providers, we want to be there through every step of the journey, and help people make real, sustained lifestyle changes.”
The new 1,284 square-foot clinic will boast three treatment rooms downstairs, off street parking and a board room space upstairs. It’s light and welcoming feel aims to put visitors at ease and creates a comfortable environment.
Initially launched online, Shape⁸ was inspired by Mandy’s personal experience with weight loss and GLP-1s, alongside managing Polycystic Ovary Syndrome (PCOS). Having tried every diet imaginable, she found weight-loss medication to be transformative, but lacking in long-term support and wider care
Shape⁸ is currently operating online with its team of licensed and experienced pharmacists, who have more than 15 years of experience in the online medical sector. It now has plans to expand its wellness offering, with additional products set to be offered in the near future.
