What we'll cover:

• How Roczen and partner pharmacies work together
• Support available throughout your journey

Roczen supports patients on weight management journeys in many ways. 

One of these pathways includes working with partner pharmacies to provide wraparound support to patients whilst on medication. 

The pathway combines GLP-1 medication with expert support to help you achieve safe and sustainable weight loss.

For patients on this pathway, your pharmacy is responsible for managing your medication. Roczen helps you get the most out of your medication with one-to-one support for side effect management, dietetic guidance and behavioural optimisation. This includes:

Regular 1:1 appointments
You will be paired with a Roczen clinician at the start of your journey. We have an extensive team of doctors, nurses and dietitians ready to support you. This ensures your management plan is as safe and effective as possible. 

Easy messaging
You can message your clinician or mentor anytime through the Roczen app at any time. Regular communication with your clinician can help you stay motivated and feel more confident about making changes.
