How do I get Wegovy in Saffron Walden?

Around one in four adults in England live with obesity, and many are looking for effective, medically supported options. If you’re asking “How do I get Wegovy?” — Mayfield Clinic can help. We offer private GP consultations that assess suitability for semaglutide (Wegovy) and provide ongoing support for safe, long-term weight management. Patients in Saffron Walden are seen at our Cambridge clinic (a short drive away) — find local details on our Saffron Walden information page and clinic location: Saffron Walden and Cambridge.

What is Wegovy and how does it work?

Wegovy (semaglutide) is a weekly injectable medicine that reduces appetite and helps many people lose weight when combined with diet and activity changes. It works on areas of the brain that regulate hunger. At Mayfield Clinic we explain how it fits into a broader weight-management plan, rather than presenting it as a quick fix.

Who is likely to be eligible?

Wegovy is suitable for carefully selected patients who meet medical criteria for weight-management therapy. Eligibility typically includes a body mass index (BMI) threshold or the presence of weight-related health conditions. A private GP consultation in Cambridge will confirm whether Wegovy is appropriate for you based on a thorough medical assessment and baseline blood tests.

Step-by-step: How to get Wegovy with Mayfield Clinic

1. Book an appointment: Patients from Saffron Walden should book online using the Book now button on our site. Members can arrange appointments directly by phone or via WhatsApp.

2. Initial GP consultation: A named GP (continuity of care is a priority) will review your medical history, current medications and weight-loss goals. This appointment can be with one of our clinicians in Cambridge.

3. Baseline tests: We request bloods and relevant checks before prescribing Wegovy to ensure safety and to establish starting values.

4. Shared decision and prescription: If Wegovy is appropriate, your private GP will discuss risks, benefits and a stepwise dosing schedule and may issue a private prescription for Wegovy (semaglutide).

5. Training and first dose: The weekly injection is simple. Your GP will show you how to administer it safely and supervise your first dose if you prefer.

6. Monthly reviews: Regular follow-ups (often monthly) monitor progress, adjust dose and manage side effects. Ongoing care from the same named GP helps with continuity and better outcomes.

What to expect at follow-up

Follow-ups focus on weight trends, safety bloods where needed, side-effect management and behavioural support. We can refer you to our multi-disciplinary team — psychologists and exercise therapists — for extra support with long-term weight management.

“Fast access to the same named doctor is central to how we deliver Wegovy treatment for people from Saffron Walden. You’ll be seen at our Cambridge clinic with regular reviews and a personalised plan.”

Safety, monitoring and combined care

Wegovy is prescribed only after a careful assessment. Baseline blood tests and regular monitoring are part of every treatment plan. We pair medication with lifestyle interventions and behavioural support so the results are sustainable. If you’re from Saffron Walden, we’ll arrange appointments at Cambridge but keep your care integrated and local to you.
