Weight Management and GLP-1, With an Evidence Trail
Every clinic can show the prescription. Far fewer can show what happened next. INTENTIQ records screening, consent, titration, review and outcome as connected evidence — not as a folder of PDFs.
First, the question most clinics get wrong
Clinics adding weight-loss injections often assume they must register with CQC for services in slimming clinics. Frequently, that is not the right activity.
CQC’s scope of registration limits services in slimming clinics to services that prescribe medicines for weight reduction by, or under the supervision of, a registered medical practitioner, delivered at a physical location rather than a remote website service.
Where another healthcare professional — a nurse or pharmacist independent prescriber — treats obesity, it falls instead under treatment of disease, disorder or injury. The same applies where a medical practitioner treats obesity through an online service.
Get the activity wrong and your statement of purpose, your evidence expectations and your inspection route are all misaligned from day one. This is general guidance, not legal advice — confirm your own scope directly with CQC.
The evidence chain
Most systems cover the first four steps well. Inspections are lost on the last three. INTENTIQ records all seven as one connected chain.
What’s included
Why not generic clinic software?
Most practice management systems bolt on a consent form and call it done. INTENTIQ builds the regulatory pathway into the workflow — from the moment a patient books a GLP-1 consultation through to the effectiveness review months later.
That is the difference between “we have a form” and “we have an evidence trail an inspector can follow.”
