How to Get Wegovy in Dorking: Private GP Prescription & Care

Introduction

Clinical trials show semaglutide-based treatment can deliver substantial, sustained weight loss—on average around 15% over 68 weeks for eligible patients. If you live in Dorking and are asking “how do I get Wegovy?”, this article explains the private GP route clearly: who qualifies, the assessment and baseline tests you’ll need, the prescription process at Mayfield Clinic, and what follow-up looks like. Short sentences. Practical steps. Realistic expectations.

What is Wegovy (semaglutide) and how does it work?

Wegovy is the brand name for semaglutide at a higher dose licensed specifically for weight management. It works by acting on appetite-regulating receptors to reduce hunger and help with portion control alongside diet and activity changes. At Mayfield Clinic we also prescribe other GLP-1 or similar treatments where appropriate, including Ozempic and Mounjaro, but Wegovy is often chosen when targeted weight management is the main goal.

Who might be eligible?

Wegovy is considered for adults with overweight or obesity who meet clinical criteria. Your private GP will assess your BMI, medical history, medications, and any contraindications (for example certain pancreatic or thyroid conditions). We also check for pregnancy or plans for pregnancy, and discuss mental health and eating behaviours as part of safe prescribing.

Step-by-step: How to get Wegovy through Mayfield Clinic (for Dorking patients)

If you’re searching for “Wegovy prescription near me” from Dorking, here’s the typical pathway when you book with Mayfield Clinic:

• 1. Book a consultation: Book online via the Book now button on our Dorking page (Mayfield Clinic — Dorking). Members can also book by phone or WhatsApp.
• 2. Initial private GP assessment: A named GP will take a full medical and medication history, measure weight and blood pressure, and discuss goals and expectations. At Mayfield Clinic we prioritise continuity, so you’ll usually see the same doctor for follow-ups.
• 3. Baseline blood tests and checks: Before prescribing, we perform baseline bloods (glucose, liver, kidney function, thyroid where indicated) and review results to ensure safety.
• 4. Shared decision and prescription: If semaglutide (Wegovy) is clinically appropriate, your private GP will issue a prescription and provide injection training. Wegovy is a weekly subcutaneous injection; we’ll make sure you’re confident to self-administer at home.
• 5. Ongoing support and follow-up: Monthly follow-ups monitor weight, side effects and dose adjustments. We combine prescribing with lifestyle support—access to psychologists, dietitians and exercise therapists is available for Dorking patients via our team.

Safety, alternatives and questions to ask
