Identity and regulatory checks

The links below are the clinic’s own public pages and direct public records. They are neutral reference points, not approval signals. Finding a match confirms what the record says — it does not validate clinical quality, outcomes, or whether a service is appropriate for you.

Healand’s public trail is relatively strong: the About page names Dr Omar Babar as Medical Director, and the clinic’s BBC Spotlight post says its peptide therapies are overseen by a GMC-registered doctor. The direct public records below let you verify the clinic pages, company record, and CQC registration.

This record stays at minimal reference status. A direct GMC register profile and named pharmacy/GPhC dispensing partner were not confirmed in the reviewed trail, so those remain unlinked until independently verified. Companies House filings reflect the register at the time you view them; always check the live page for current company status, including name changes or dissolution. See our methodology for record status definitions.

The official contact page supports a Leicester contact trail and the service page describes online access, but this listing does not infer a clinic-entrance address beyond the public source.

Questions to ask before booking

Healand describes online access and a public doctor-led trail — which raises specific questions about how the remote clinical model actually works:

  • Who is clinically responsible for the service — a named doctor or prescribing clinician?
  • How is patient suitability assessed during an online consultation — what is reviewed and by whom?
  • Through which pharmacy are prescriptions dispensed, and is that pharmacy GPhC-registered?
  • What follow-up is included after the initial online consultation?
  • Can the public identity trail be matched cleanly to CQC and Companies House records?
  • What happens if you report a side effect or need urgent advice — is there a documented escalation path?
