CheqUp

What CheqUp does

CheqUp Health Limited is a UK-based digital health platform, founded in 2020 and headquartered in Chippenham, Wiltshire, that delivers clinician-led online weight loss programmes combining prescription GLP-1 medications (Mounjaro/tirzepatide, Wegovy/semaglutide, and forthcoming oral GLP-1 treatments) with unlimited 1:1 health coaching and WeightWatchers app integration. The core product is the CheqUp Weight Loss Programme: customers complete an online medical questionnaire, undergo Persona-based identity verification, receive clinical assessment by CQC-registered prescribers, and are subscribed to a monthly medication delivery programme with cold-chain packaging, supported by qualified nutritionist and personal trainer health coaches. The platform holds CQC, GPhC, NHS DTAC, NICE recommended supplier, Cyber Essentials, DSPT, and LegitScript certifications, and dispenses medications either through its own GPhC-registered pharmacy or CloudRx as an alternative.

The business operates as a direct-to-consumer subscription model priced from £109/month, with rolling monthly, 3-month, and 6-month commitment tiers (the latter two at discounted rates with a £50 early-cancellation fee). Revenue also includes one-time supplement sales and a forthcoming Maintenance Programme for post-treatment retention. Distribution combines the CheqUp DTC website with two-way referral partnerships signed in June 2026 — Weight Watchers (giving UK WW members access to CheqUp consultations) and Bluecrest Wellness (referring at-risk patients from Bluecrest's 1.3M+ completed health assessments). CheqUp served 60,000+ UK members as of June 2026. The GTM motion is digital-first with a lean team of 11-50 employees, leveraging outsourced clinical labour, third-party identity verification, and the WeightWatchers content library for behavioural support.
