Completing a consultation does not guarantee a prescription. This page is the unglamorous version: what the criteria are, what a clinician reads beyond them, and what you are told if the answer is no.
Every weight-loss page you have opened this week has shown you the same device: two photographs taken months apart with the hard part cropped out. It sells well. It tells you nothing about whether treatment would be offered to you, or whether it should be.
Curate publishes the opposite, in a sentence sitting on their own consultation page. Completing a consultation does not guarantee a prescription. UK-registered clinicians review every request and prescribe only where clinically appropriate.
So here is the version nobody advertises. The criteria that start the conversation, the things a clinician reads that no calculator can, and what happens when a clinician says no.
Clinical weight care in the UK works to published criteria, and a screening number sits at the front of them because it is quick to calculate and easy to compare. Not because it is the whole picture.
Curate's own screening tool says as much in its small print: "BMI is a screening estimate, not a diagnosis. Nothing is stored. Your clinician assesses your full health history at consultation."
That last clause is the one that matters. The scale below places you against the usual criteria in ten seconds. It decides nothing, and neither does any tool on any provider's website.
Enter your height and weight and the scale will place your BMI against the usual UK clinical criteria.

A screening number knows two things about you. A consultation reads the rest: "symptoms, history, goals, and the markers that matter", the medicines you already take, and what you have tried before and how your body answered.
"A UK-registered clinician reviews your assessment against eligibility and safety criteria, then approves, adjusts, or declines, and explains why."
Declines is in that sentence on purpose, and it is the word most provider pages leave out. A service that cannot say no to anybody is not making a clinical decision at all.

After you answer
Four steps, one of which is a clinician being allowed to say no.
Who decides
Every prescriber is named and GPhC-registered, and the registration numbers are published so you can look them up before you trust one.

The service, in numbers
Figures published on Curate's own pages, August 2026. Registration numbers are verifiable on the GPhC register.
Ten seconds against the criteria, then a five-minute consultation if you want a real answer. A named UK clinician reads it and tells you yes, not yet, or no, with the reasoning either way.
Where to start
A confidential online consultation, reviewed by a named UK clinician with a published 48-hour review window. Completing it does not guarantee a prescription, and that is the point.
