GLP‑1 therapies such as semaglutide (branded as Ozempic) have changed how we approach weight management — clinical studies typically show average weight reductions in the range of 5–15% for eligible patients when combined with lifestyle measures. If you live in St Ives and are asking “how do I get Ozempic?”, this article explains the safe, private route via Mayfield Clinic and what to expect at every step.
Ozempic (semaglutide) is a once‑weekly injectable GLP‑1 agonist. It reduces appetite, slows gastric emptying and helps improve blood glucose control. That makes it useful both for people with type 2 diabetes and for those who need additional medical support for weight loss.
For St Ives patients, the straightforward path is to book a standard private GP consultation. Appointments can be made online via our Book now button; members can also book by phone or WhatsApp. Although we advertise to St Ives, note that consultations and treatment are delivered from our Cambridge practice — see our Cambridge location here: https://www.mayfieldclinic.co.uk/locations/cambridge. For St Ives information see: https://www.mayfieldclinic.co.uk/nearby-locations/st-ives.
1) Book a consultation with a named GP (fast access and continuity of care are priorities for us).
2) Your GP will take a full medical history and check eligibility for semaglutide (weight history, current medications, pregnancy plans, thyroid or pancreatitis history, and more).
3) Baseline blood tests are done before a prescription is considered.
4) If appropriate, a private prescription for Ozempic is issued and your GP demonstrates safe injection technique. Ozempic is given as a weekly injection. You are supported until you can inject confidently at home.
5) Monthly follow‑ups (initially) to monitor response and adjust dose; long‑term plans involve a multidisciplinary team where needed — psychologists, dietitians and exercise therapists are available to support sustainable change.
Mayfield Clinic offers rapid appointments with the same named GP where possible — ideal for St Ives patients seeking continuity and privacy.
Eligibility depends on clinical criteria, not purely on desire. People with type 2 diabetes may qualify for Ozempic for glucose control; others may be considered for weight management if they meet the clinic’s assessment criteria. Contraindications include pregnancy, a history of medullary thyroid carcinoma or certain pancreatitis conditions. Your GP will review these during the consultation.
Before prescribing, we perform baseline bloods (including liver and kidney checks) and review other medications. Regular monitoring follows to watch for side effects and to assess benefit. Never obtain Ozempic from unregulated online sources — private prescriptions given after a clinical assessment are the safe route.
Private prescription costs vary depending on the dose and dispensing pharmacy. The clinic consultation and follow‑up fees are separate. Your GP will outline the full private prescribing cost and signpost reliable dispensing options; we advise against informal or overseas suppliers for safety reasons.
Expect a thorough 20–40 minute review of your medical history, current medications and weight history. Blood tests will be arranged and the GP will discuss realistic goals and a plan. If appropriate, treatment can begin promptly and you’ll be shown how to administer the weekly injection.
Monthly reviews allow dose adjustments and behavioural support. For patients from St Ives we offer coordinated care delivered from our Cambridge clinic, and a multi‑disciplinary pathway if you need psychological or exercise therapy input to help keep weight off for good.
Many people living in St Ives find the short trip into Cambridge worthwhile for faster, private access to named GPs and continuity of care. Our Cambridge clinic is a short commute and already serves a number of patients from St Ives who prefer private prescriptions and a clear pathway to GLP‑1 treatment.
