Weight loss

27/04/2025 by Dr Marcus Gleave

Interest in medical weight loss support is surging across Sussex, with East Grinstead seeing a particular rise in searches for safe and doctor-led solutions. At Mayfield Clinic, we've noticed more patients than ever asking about Wegovy (semaglutide) and similar medications for long-term weight management. If you live in East Grinstead and have wondered, “How do I get Wegovy?” this article will walk you through every step of the private prescription process—no jargon, just actionable guidance.

Understanding Wegovy for Weight Loss

Wegovy is a once-weekly injectable medication designed for adults with obesity or medically significant weight concerns. It’s proven to help people lose, on average, 12-15% of their starting body weight when part of a guided clinical programme. Access, however, is carefully controlled through a doctor who evaluates your complete health picture. Wegovy isn’t available over-the-counter in the UK. Buying it online without prescription is unsafe and not recommended.

How Can Patients in East Grinstead Access Wegovy?

At Mayfield Clinic, we offer private GP appointments in Horsham—our nearest practice for East Grinstead residents. You can easily book online. The process is straightforward:

  1. Book an initial consultation online (or by phone/WhatsApp if you’re a member). We guarantee fast access to the same named doctor throughout your journey.
  2. Assessment: In your private GP consultation, we’ll discuss your medical history, current lifestyle, and goals. We’ll check your eligibility for Wegovy or alternatives like Ozempic or Mounjaro based on national guidance.
  3. Baseline blood tests: These help confirm that treatment is safe and suitable for you. Tests are usually completed at our Horsham clinic, just a short drive from East Grinstead.
  4. Treatment plan: If you’re deemed suitable for Wegovy, you’ll be given a private prescription. Your doctor will show you exactly how to administer the weekly injection and offer support until you feel comfortable.
  5. Ongoing care: Monthly appointments—often with the same doctor—monitor your progress, adjust your dose, and provide multidisciplinary support including diet and psychological input if needed.

Most East Grinstead residents begin their Wegovy weight loss programme within a week of booking.
