b. Digital services
These are services that give you health and lifestyle information through our app or websites.
Our digital healthcare services are for information only. They are not designed to diagnose or provide medical advice or treatment. They should never be used as a replacement for a qualified medical professional.
You can access our services in different ways.
- Purchasing one of our Weight Loss Programmes, which may be available on our website and/or app; and/or
- Accessing our digital services through our app or website
4. Important information about our services
a. Weight Loss Programmes
Our Weight Loss Programmes are structured programmes that guide you on your weight management journey. The advice is dependent on the information provided by you during the onboarding journey, your responses to monthly questionnaires and other information provided by you throughout the journey on the Weight Loss Programme. Therefore, please ensure the information provided is accurate and kept up to date. We need you to let us know if any of the information is wrong or out of date by contacting our support team. If you do not answer questions truthfully or omit to provide details about your past medical history, we cannot be held responsible for any liability which may arise as a result and we may suspend your access to our services or cancel your account and you will not be refunded for any fees already paid by you. You may also be jeopardising your health and the efficacy of the treatment: safety is our number one priority.
The Weight Loss Programmes are not designed to diagnose you or provide you with medical advice or treatment outside of the weight loss programme, as deemed appropriate by the medical practitioner. It is only to guide you through the weight loss journey. It is best practice guidance that we share information about your purchase of the Weight Loss Programme, summaries of your check-ins, progress and the medical advice provided to you with your GP. If you do not agree to us sharing this information, you will not be able to use our Weight Loss Programmes. Therefore, please ensure that your current GP details are updated with us at all times.
We make no representations or warranties regarding the specific results or outcomes that you will achieve through your participation in the Weight Loss Programmes. The results or effectiveness of the Weight Loss Programme may vary among individuals and also depend on your adherence to the advice and instructions given.
Weight Loss Programmes, like any programmes with medical treatments, may cause side effects. Most people only experience mild and short-term side effects like nausea, vomiting, constipation, bloating, flatulence, indigestion and stomach pain. These side effects typically improve as your body adjusts to the proposed treatment. If you feel you are not able to manage the symptoms you are experiencing, please report them to us within the symptom reporting function in the app or call 999 or the emergency services immediately. If you are experiencing thought of suicide or harming yourself please call 999 or emergency services immediately. For more detailed information on side effects, you can refer to the patient information leaflet included in your box or contact our support team for our Medical representative to contact you.
If you are enrolled in any of our Weight Loss Programmes, we need some personal information from you (such as your legal name, contact details and information about your health) so that we can give you appropriate advice and services. To find out more about how we use this information and how we protect your privacy, see our privacy policy (SheMed, HeMed).
The information you give us must be true, accurate and in English. We need you to let us know if any of the information we hold about you is wrong or out of date. Please contact our support team if you need a translator or interpreter.
You must:
- follow any instructions our team member gives to you including in relation to dose instructions;
- follow any instructions we give to you about how to use or store medicines or healthcare products we recommend or prescribe. This includes use-by dates;
- keep any medicines we prescribe secure and do not allow anyone other than the patient named on the prescription to use them;
- only use our services for you;
- not deviate from the manufacturer’s guidance for the use of any prescription provided to you;
- report immediately through the symptom reporting function within the app if you have any bad or unexpected effects from anything we have recommended to you; and
- contact emergency services if you think it is necessary.
Our medical practitioners are based in England and Wales. They are members of the appropriate regulatory body (for example, our doctors are members of the General Medical Council). They are committed to clinical best practice and any related standards. Our medical practitioners might have different opinions on some medical conditions or symptoms. This does not mean that our services are at fault; it is normal for experts to have different views from time to time. The titration or dosage of any medication that may be prescribed to you will be decided by our medical practitioners based on your weight management journey, clinical best practice and related standards. You cannot request for higher or lower titrations or doses of the medication.
Our team members may be in the UK or other countries. They are appropriately trained to help you complete your live virtual check-ins.
Your location - You must let the team member know at the start of your check-in if you are not located in England or Wales. We are not able to offer check-ins if you are located in the USA, Cuba, Canada, Australia, New Zealand, South Africa, Germany, Iran, Syria, Russia, North-Korea, Ukraine or China at the time of your check in. We may also choose not to continue with your consultation in any other part of the world outside England or Wales if we do not think that it is lawful or appropriate for us to do so. A full list of such locations can be provided on request. If you are based in Scotland or Northern Ireland, by using our services you agree to inform your NHS GP about any prescriptions provided to you by us.
b. Digital services
As a part of your Weight Loss Programme or otherwise, you are provided with access to a number of articles on health, wellness and weight management. They are there to give you information relating to your general wellness or health, and to let you know about general causes and risks of obesity and ways to make behavioural changes to support weight loss and maintain a healthy weight. They are not designed to be used instead of a healthcare professional. Do not use any of these digital services in an emergency. Instead, call 999 or access emergency services immediately. Our digital services are available to you through our UK website or app. You can access them through your account on the app or directly on our website. These services are free and available to all users.

11. SheMed Insight Weight Loss Programme
a) What we need from you
If you are participating in the SheMed Insight Programme, we need the following from you:
- Personal information from you (such as your legal name, contact details and information about your health, location and GP) so that we can give you appropriate advice and services.
- Initial Eligibility - You will initially be assessed to check if you are eligible to participate in the Weight Loss Programme. This is based on the information provided by you in the pre-onboarding questionnaire on our website. If you meet the initial eligibility requirements, you will need to complete the onboarding process and complete the detailed eligibility questionnaire as mentioned below. You must create an account and pay the fee for the first month’s programme including any prescription. You will need to provide your bank details as part of this process.
- Onboarding and detailed eligibility - If you meet the initial eligibility requirements, you need to complete the onboarding process and complete the detailed eligibility questionnaire. You will be prompted to download our app and create an account (if you have not already) and complete your onboarding check-in.
- ID & verification - During your check-in through a live video call, you will be required to complete ID verification by producing a copy of an official government photo ID. If you do not verify your identification, we will end the call and ask you to check-in again when you have it. If you do not complete this process, you may not join a Weight Loss Programme.
After completing identity verification, our team member will verify your height and weight. You must have access to a weighing scale and measuring tape to complete this process. You must also complete a detailed eligibility questionnaire on your medical history. - Complete Mandatory Blood Test
- You must complete a blood test whose cost is included in the first month’s fee. The blood test kit will be dispatched Monday to Friday (excluding bank holidays). Kits will usually be dispatched the same day if ordered before 12pm. Kits ordered after 12pm will usually be dispatched the next working day.
- You must follow the instructions contained in the kit (if you decide to complete the blood collection process unguided) or instructions provided by our Team member on the live-call during the first check-in call (ID & verification) to complete the testing process. If the blood sample you send is not sufficient or missing, then we will notify you and send another blood test kit at no additional cost to you. If the second test fails for any reason whatsoever, you must purchase another kit at your own cost.
- You must complete the testing process in accordance with the instructions and post the sample by the next available collection time and do this within 28 days from the date on which you receive the blood test kit; and
- You will be able to view a copy of your blood test results in the app within the activities log when it is returned from our third-party partner lab. If your blood test results reveal that you require treatment for a condition which means that GLP-1 medication would not be suitable for you at this time, we will let you know and your journey on the Weight Loss Programme will end. Please see Section 11(e) below to know about the refund of the first month’s fee due to ineligibility.
- Check-ins - you will be required to check-in with us to assess your progress on the weight management journey weekly. You can do this via a live check-in (our live check-ins are available on-demand 24/7 and can be accessed via the SheMed app) or by adding your own details to the app. If you have arranged a virtual check-in, make sure that you are in a suitable place with a good internet connection and are able to turn on your audio and video. If you are not in a suitable place, we may ask you to move, or end your check-in and ask you to start another check-in soon. You may be required to weigh yourself and record the weight during the check-in. We record your audio and video and audio of our team member during check-ins to make sure we're giving you the best service we can. To find out more about how we - use this information and how we protect your privacy, see our privacy policy.
- Refill questionnaire - you will be asked to fill in a short questionnaire every 28 day cycle to track your weight management journey and to decide the next medical treatment. If you delay filling the questionnaire, it may impact your weight management journey and affect the efficacy of the programme.
- Customer support - You have access to customer support services as detailed in our Help Centre. You may contact us if you have any questions. We record all conversations with you and the customer support services to make sure we are giving you the best service we can. To find out more about how we use this information and how we protect your privacy, see our privacy policy.
- Clinical restrictions - in case you are unable to continue on the SheMed Insight Programme as advised by your GP or our medical practitioner, you must discuss this clinical restriction with our medical practitioner. They may need additional information to determine eligibility and remove you if you are no longer medically eligible to continue with it. No further payments will be taken from you. However you will not be refunded for any past payments.
b) Prices and how to pay
After creating your account and before the blood test kit is shipped to you, you must pay a fee of £99 towards your first month’s programme including any prescription. The cost of the blood test kit is included in the first month’s fee. If you cancel your participation in the programme after the blood test is shipped, you are not eligible for a refund unless you are deemed medically ineligible for the programme. You need to collect your blood and return a sample in accordance with the instructions provided before you can begin the programme. We will then check the results together with the health and verification information you provided (“health results”) to determine whether we consider you are eligible to join the SheMed Insight Programme.
If you are eligible, your health results will be passed to our clinical team and you will receive your prescription for the first month.
For the second cycle, a monthly fee of £159 will be deducted from your saved card details when our medical practitioner prescribes the medication for the second month after reviewing your responses to the refill questionnaire. This will continue every payment cycle (payment cycle is defined in Section 11.d.). You are responsible to ensure that sufficient funds are available. We may stop or pause our services to you if we do not receive the fee on time or at all.
Any other costs, including the cost of medications prescribed to treat any symptoms or side effects you are experiencing will be charged separately.
If you do not pay the monthly fee on time, you will be removed from the SheMed Insight Programme. We reserve the right to modify the monthly fee payable under this programme at any time. Any change in price will be notified in advance. We may offer the option to pay for several months upfront, possibly at a discounted rate. We reserve the right to revoke discounts at any time for any reason, provided that the discount has not already been applied and successfully paid for.
c) What happens if you are not deemed eligible?
We will not refund you for a blood test kit sent out as part of the onboarding unless your blood test results reveal that you are not eligible to enrol in our SheMed Insight Programme (detailed in Section 11(e)).
d) How many days are in each “payment cycle”?
Usually, we charge your saved card details every 28 days from your second payment on the Weight Loss Programme.
The 28 days’ payment cycle may change by the number of days if you delay filling the monthly questionnaire from the date on which it is due or by the number of days you delay taking any medications that may be prescribed to you from the date on which it is due by up to 7 days and will then proceed on a 28 day payment cycle based on the new date.
If you successfully complete the monthly questionnaire and obtain any medication earlier, you may be charged earlier than the 28 day cycle. However any future payments will revert to the original cycle.
e) Cancellations and refunds
You may cancel your participation in the SheMed Insight Programme any time before using our services, that means before the blood test kit is shipped to you or before you attend the onboarding and verification call, whichever is earlier. In such a case, we will refund the first month’s fee of £99. Please contact us if you need to cancel.
If you voluntarily join or attend the onboarding and verification call, you will be using our services. Therefore, we cannot refund your payment for the first month’s service, but you will then cancel your ongoing participation in the SheMed Insight Programme and no further charges will be applied.
After your first cycle, you are entitled to cancel your participation in the SheMed Insight Programme by giving at least 21 (twenty-one) full days’ or more notice to our support team contact details before the next payment is due. To know how many days are in each payment cycle, please see Section 11.d. If notice is not provided within 21 (twenty-one) days or more, you will be charged for that payment cycle and your participation and payment will be cancelled for the subsequent payment cycle. In the event those services have already been delivered or medication has been issued and or dispensed, you will be charged for that payment cycle.
Your purchase of a blood test kit cannot be cancelled and refunded after it is shipped to you for health and hygiene reasons unless your blood test results reveal that you are not eligible to purchase SheMed Insight Programme. If your blood test results reveal that you are not eligible, your journey on the SheMed Insight Programme will end and we will refund you £99 paid towards the first month’s programme including any prescription. Please note that to receive the refund the ineligibility must be due to a condition revealed after the blood test results and not due to an error in providing information by you in the questionnaires referred to in Section 11(a)(ii) and (iii). We will not refund in any other scenario.
f) Your prescriptions, medicines and other purchases
Our practitioners follow national evidence-based guidance, such as the Medicines & Healthcare products Regulatory Agency (MHRA). They meet Care Quality Commission (CQC) standards.

And also on the Care Quality Commission website.

a) What we need from you
If you are participating in the SheMed Standard Programme or are moved to the SheMed Standard Programme from other SheMed Weight Loss Programmes, we need the following from you:
- Initial Eligibility - You will initially be assessed to check if you are eligible to participate in the Weight Loss Programme. This is based on the information provided by you in the pre-onboarding questionnaire on our website. If you meet the initial eligibility requirements, you will need to complete the onboarding process and complete the detailed eligibility questionnaire as mentioned below. You must create an account and purchase a GLP-1 Screening (blood test) kit.
- Onboarding and detailed eligibility - If you meet the initial eligibility requirements, you need to complete the onboarding process and complete the detailed eligibility questionnaire.

You will need to provide your bank details as part of this process in readiness to join the SheMed Standard Programme.
- ID & verification - During your check-in through a live video call, you will be required to complete ID verification by producing a copy of an official government photo ID. If you do not verify your identification, we will end the call and ask you to check-in again when you have it. If you do not complete this process, you may not join a Weight Loss Programme.

If the blood sample you send is not sufficient or missing, then we will notify you and send another blood test kit at no additional cost to you. If the second test fails for any reason whatsoever, you must purchase another kit at your own cost.
- You must complete the testing process in accordance with the instructions and post the sample by the next available collection time and do this within 14 days from the date on which you receive the blood test kit; and

We will not refund the amount paid towards the blood test kit.
- Check-ins - you will be required to check-in with us to assess your progress on the weight management journey weekly. You can do this via a live check-in (our live check-ins are available on-demand 24/7 and can be accessed via the SheMed app) or by adding your own details to the app. If you have arranged a virtual check-in, make sure that you are in a suitable place with a good internet connection and are able to turn on your audio and video. If you are not in a suitable place, we may ask you to move, or end your check-in and ask you to start another check-in soon. You may be required to weigh yourself and record the weight during the check-in.

To find out more about how we - use this information and how we protect your privacy, see our privacy policy.
- Refill questionnaire - you will be asked to fill in a short questionnaire every 28 day cycle to track your weight management journey and to decide the next medical treatment. If you delay filling the questionnaire, it may impact your weight management journey and affect the efficacy of the programme.
- Customer support - You have access to customer support services as detailed in our Help Centre. You may contact us if you have any questions. We record all conversations with you and the customer support services to make sure we are giving you the best service we can. To find out more about how we use this information and how we protect your privacy, see our privacy policy.
- Clinical restrictions - in case you are unable to continue on the SheMed Standard Programme as advised by your GP or our medical practitioner, you must discuss this clinical restriction with our medical practitioner. They may need additional information to determine eligibility and remove you if you are no longer medically eligible to continue with it. No further payments will be taken from you. However you will not be refunded for any past payments.
b) Prices and how to pay
You need to purchase a blood test kit priced at £49 and return a sample in accordance with the instructions provided before you can begin the programme. We will then check the results together with the health and verification information you provided (“health results”) to determine whether we consider you are eligible to join the SheMed Standard Programme.
If you are, your health results will be passed to our clinical team and you will be charged the monthly fee of £159 from your saved card details before your treatment is dispatched.
For the second cycle, the monthly fee of £159 will be deducted from your saved card details and this will continue every payment cycle (payment cycle is defined in Section 12.d.). You are responsible to ensure that sufficient funds are available. We may stop or pause our services to you if we do not receive the fee on time or at all.
Any other costs, including the cost of medications prescribed to treat any symptoms or side effects you are experiencing will be charged separately.
The monthly fee for the SheMed Standard Programme will not be modified, but you will be removed from it if you do not pay the monthly fee on time. We may offer the option to pay for several months upfront, possibly at a discounted rate. We reserve the right to revoke discounts at any time for any reason, provided that the discount has not already been applied and successfully paid for.
c) What happens if you are not deemed eligible
We collect payments only if you are deemed eligible and have completed the onboarding formalities as mentioned in Section 12 (a)(i) and (ii).
We will not refund you for a blood test kit sent out as part of the onboarding unless your blood test results reveal that you are not eligible to enrol in our SheMed Standard Programme (detailed in Section 12(e)).
d) How many days are in each “payment cycle”?
Usually, we charge your saved card details every 28 days from your second payment on the Weight Loss Programme.
The 28 days’ payment cycle may change by the number of days if you delay filling the monthly questionnaire from the date on which it is due or by the number of days you delay taking any medications that may be prescribed to you from the date on which it is due by up to 7 days and will then proceed on a 28 day payment cycle based on the new date.
If you successfully complete the monthly questionnaire and obtain any medication earlier, you may be charged earlier than the 28 day cycle. However any future payments will revert to the original cycle.
e) Cancellations and refunds
You may cancel your participation in the SheMed Standard Programme any time before using our services, that means before scheduling the first check-in call (ID & verification). In such a case, we will not deduct the first month’s fee. Please contact us if you need to cancel.
If you voluntarily join or attend the first check-in call (ID & verification), you will be using our services. Therefore, you cannot cancel your payment for the first month’s service (and will not get a full refund), but you will then cancel your ongoing participation in the SheMed Standard Programme and no further charges will be applied.
After your first cycle, you are entitled to cancel your participation by giving at least 21 (twenty-one) full days’ or more notice to our support team contact details before the next payment is due. To know how many days are in each payment cycle, please see Section 12(d). If notice is not provided within 21 (twenty-one) days or more, you will be charged for that payment cycle and your participation and payment will be cancelled for the subsequent payment cycle. In the event those services have already been delivered or medication has been issued and or dispensed, you will be charged for that payment cycle.
Your purchase of a blood test kit cannot be cancelled and refunded after it is shipped to you for health and hygiene reasons unless your blood test results reveal that you are not eligible to enrol in the SheMed Standard Programme. If your blood test results reveal that you are not eligible, your journey on the SheMed Standard Programme will end and we will refund you the amount paid towards the purchase of the blood test kit. Please note that to receive the refund the ineligibility must be due to a condition revealed after the blood test results and not due to an error in providing information by you in the questionnaires referred to in Section 12(a)(i) and (ii). We will not refund in any other scenario.
Purchase of a blood test kit is separate from the purchase of the SheMed Standard Programme. Cancellation and refund terms for purchase of the blood test kit and SheMed Standard Programme are different as outlined above.
f) Your prescriptions, medicines and other purchases
Our practitioners follow national evidence-based guidance, such as the Medicines & Healthcare products Regulatory Agency (MHRA). They meet Care Quality Commission (CQC) standards.

- Redeeming referral credits -
- If you are on SheMed Standard Programme or SheMed Insight Programme or HeMed Insight Programme, we will automatically apply up to £60 or available lower credit in your account towards payment of your monthly fee on the Weight Loss Programmes. Any remaining referral credits will carry over and be applied to future payments in the similar manner as described here.
