How do I get Wegovy near Newmarket? Private GP prescription guide

How do I get Wegovy in Newmarket?

Semaglutide medicines such as Wegovy (and similar treatments like Ozempic) have changed how many people manage weight. Clinical trials show semaglutide can deliver average weight reductions of around 10–15% over months when combined with lifestyle changes. If you live in Newmarket and are wondering how to access Wegovy privately, this page explains the straightforward steps, what to expect at Mayfield Clinic, and how our Cambridge practice will look after you.

What is Wegovy and who it helps

Wegovy is a higher‑dose formulation of semaglutide licensed for weight management. It is given as a weekly injection and is intended for adults who need additional medical support with weight loss. At Mayfield Clinic we also discuss alternatives such as Ozempic (semaglutide) and Mounjaro (tirzepatide) where appropriate, and we select the right option for each patient after a full assessment.

How Mayfield Clinic helps Newmarket patients access Wegovy

Mayfield Clinic offers private GP consultations where Wegovy can be prescribed for carefully chosen patients. Although we promote services to Newmarket residents, clinical appointments are delivered from our Cambridge practice. You can read about our Newmarket service page here: Mayfield Clinic — Newmarket, and find details of the location where you will be seen here: Mayfield Clinic — Cambridge.

Patients from Newmarket are assessed by the same named GP and then seen at our Cambridge practice for tests and follow‑ups, preserving continuity of care.

Step-by-step: How to get a private Wegovy prescription

1. Book an initial private GP consultation via the Book now button (Newmarket patients are seen in Cambridge). Members may also book by phone or WhatsApp.

2. Your GP will take a detailed medical history, review any previous weight loss attempts, and discuss expectations, side effects and alternatives such as Ozempic or Mounjaro.

3. Baseline checks: blood tests, blood pressure, and other baseline measures are performed before any prescription is issued. These ensure Wegovy is safe for you and provide a benchmark for progress.

4. Shared decision: if semaglutide is appropriate, your GP will issue a private prescription and talk you through weekly injection technique and a personalised titration schedule.

5. Regular follow-up: monthly reviews monitor weight, side effects and dose adjustments. We recommend combining drug treatment with lifestyle support — psychology, dietetics and exercise therapy are available through the clinic for long‑term success.

What to expect at your first appointment

Your first consultation includes: medical history, current medications, a physical check, and discussion of previous weight management efforts. We will explain likely outcomes, practical injection guidance, and a monitoring plan. If you are from Newmarket we will explain the logistics of being seen at our Cambridge practice and how we keep appointments quick and consistent with the same named GP.

Safety, monitoring and realistic goals

Wegovy is not a standalone solution. It works best when paired with a structured weight‑management programme and ongoing reviews. We will check for side effects, review blood test results and, when needed, involve our multidisciplinary team. Our approach aims for clinically meaningful, sustainable weight loss rather than short‑term fixes.
