Over a quarter of adults in England are classified as obese, and for many people medication like Wegovy can be a useful part of a long-term weight-management plan. If you live in Epsom and are wondering how to access Wegovy, this page explains the private GP pathway at Mayfield Clinic, what to expect in a consultation, and how follow-up and multi-disciplinary support work.
Wegovy is the brand name for a once-weekly semaglutide injection licensed to help with weight management when combined with diet and exercise. It works by reducing appetite signals and improving feelings of fullness. Similar medications you may have heard of include Ozempic and Mounjaro; each drug has its own licence, dose schedule and suitability profile, which your GP will discuss with you.
A private GP at Mayfield Clinic will assess whether Wegovy is appropriate for you. Typical considerations include your body mass index (BMI), medical history, current medications and any underlying health conditions. Wegovy is generally offered to adults who have not achieved sufficient weight loss with lifestyle changes alone and where the clinical risk of obesity-related disease warrants intervention.
If you live in Epsom, you can start the process online and will be seen at our Reigate practice. The pathway is straightforward and designed for continuity — you’ll usually see the same named GP each time.
Book online via the Book now button on our site. Epsom patients will be offered appointments at our Reigate clinic — see details here: Mayfield Clinic — Epsom information and our Reigate practice page: Mayfield Clinic Reigate. Members can also book by phone or WhatsApp.
The GP will take a full medical history, measure weight and BMI, check blood pressure and request baseline blood tests (for example blood glucose, renal and liver function where appropriate). This ensures Wegovy is safe and suitable for you.
If Wegovy is clinically appropriate, your GP will explain expected benefits, possible side effects and a treatment plan. Mayfield Clinic issues private prescriptions and will provide guidance on how to administer the weekly injection until you are confident to do this at home.
Safety first: medication is only prescribed after a careful assessment and baseline tests to ensure treatment is right for you.
Follow-up appointments are typically monthly at first. We monitor your response, adjust dose if needed, and support long-term management. Our multi-disciplinary team, including psychologists and exercise therapists, is available to help you build sustainable habits for weight loss and maintenance.
Expect an initial period of adjustment: nausea and mild gastrointestinal symptoms are common early on but often settle. Regular reviews help manage side effects and optimise benefit. Your named GP will offer continuity of care throughout your treatment so you’re not repeating your story each visit.
Costs vary according to consultation type, ongoing reviews and the medication itself. Private prescriptions and the medication cost are separate. If you live in Epsom and choose Mayfield Clinic, we’ll discuss pricing at your first appointment and outline the likely ongoing costs for the drug and monitoring.
Wegovy is one option among several. Depending on your goals and medical history, other approaches — including lifestyle programmes, structured dietary plans, or alternative licensed medications such as Mounjaro or Ozempic — may be discussed. Our team in Reigate can tailor a plan combining medication, therapy and exercise input.
Although our service for Epsom patients is delivered from Reigate (around a 20-minute drive), many Epsom residents choose us because of fast access to the same named GP and clear follow-up pathways. If travel is a concern, tell us when booking — we can discuss appointment times and remote review options where clinically appropriate.

If you live in Epsom, start by booking a private GP consultation with Mayfield Clinic via the Book now button. You’ll be seen at our Reigate clinic, where the GP will take a full medical history, order baseline blood tests and assess suitability for Wegovy (semaglutide). If appropriate, a private prescription is issued and you’ll receive training for the weekly injection plus monthly follow-up to monitor progress.
Wegovy cannot be bought over-the-counter; it requires a prescription after a clinical assessment. Some providers advertise online sales, but safe access is through a clinician who can review your health and arrange baseline tests. For Epsom patients, Mayfield Clinic offers private prescriptions following in-person assessment at our Reigate practice—book online via the Book now button.
Costs vary depending on consultation type, frequency of follow-up and the ongoing medication expense. We explain fees during the initial consultation. If you’re in Epsom, visit our Epsom information page or contact us to get specific pricing for private Wegovy prescriptions and follow-up at our Reigate clinic.
