YOUR DOCTOR:
Meet Dr Sachin Khunti
General Practitioner | Obesity & Weight Management
MRCGP, MBBS, MPharm (Hons), PGDip Obesity & Weight Management, SCOPE Certified
ABOUT DR KHUNTI
Your health deserves a personalised approach.
I am a UK General Practitioner with a specialist professional interest in obesity, weight management and cardiometabolic health.
My approach to care is built around understanding each patient as an individual, taking time to explore their health, experiences and goals before deciding on the most appropriate treatment.
I believe effective weight management should go beyond the number on the scales, with a focus on improving metabolic health, physical function, quality of life and long-term wellbeing.
My clinical background
Before qualifying as a doctor, I trained and worked as a pharmacist, graduating with First Class Honours in Pharmacy. This background gives me a particular interest in medicines optimisation, prescribing safety and evidence-based treatment.
Alongside my work as a GP, I have gained experience within an NHS specialist Tier 3 obesity service, working as part of a multidisciplinary team caring for people living with obesity.
I have also undertaken postgraduate training in obesity and weight management, achieving a Postgraduate Diploma with Distinction, and am continuing my studies towards an MSc.
I hold SCOPE certification from the World Obesity Federation and contribute to healthcare professional education on obesity, cardiometabolic health and related treatments.
My approach to patient care
I recognise that weight management can be challenging and that many people have experienced frustration, stigma or unsuccessful treatment attempts.
My aim is to provide a supportive, respectful environment where you feel listened to and involved in decisions about your health.
I place particular emphasis on:
Evidence-based, individualised treatment.
Open discussion about benefits, risks and alternatives.
Nutrition, physical activity and muscle health.
Understanding the wider health implications of obesity.
Appropriate monitoring and longer-term care.
A NOTE FROM DR KHUNTI:
“Weight management is not simply about willpower. My aim is to help patients understand their health, explore evidence-based options and develop a personalised plan that works for them.”
