How to Get Wegovy in Sheffield: Private GP Prescription Guide

Weight loss

08/09/2025 by Dr Marcus Gleave

Nearly 64% of adults in England are overweight or obese, yet accessing effective weight loss medications through the NHS can involve lengthy waiting lists and strict criteria. For Sheffield residents seeking faster access to Wegovy, private prescription offers a direct route to this breakthrough weight management treatment.

Wegovy (semaglutide) represents a significant advancement in obesity treatment. This once-weekly injection works by mimicking hormones that regulate appetite and blood sugar levels, helping patients achieve sustainable weight loss when combined with lifestyle changes.

Getting Your Wegovy Prescription in Sheffield

At Mayfield Clinic Sheffield, obtaining a Wegovy prescription begins with booking a comprehensive GP consultation. Our private prescription process ensures you receive personalised care without the delays associated with NHS pathways.

Your consultation will include a thorough medical history review and baseline blood tests. Dr Marcus Gleave and our experienced team assess your suitability for Wegovy treatment, considering factors such as your current weight, medical conditions, and previous weight loss attempts.

The Consultation Process

During your initial appointment at our Sheffield clinic, your GP will:

• Review your complete medical history
• Conduct baseline blood tests to ensure treatment safety
• Discuss realistic weight loss expectations
• Explain the injection technique and administration schedule
• Create a personalised treatment plan

Wegovy treatment requires careful monitoring. Monthly follow-up appointments allow for dose adjustments and progress tracking, ensuring optimal results whilst maintaining safety.

What to Expect from Treatment

Wegovy is administered as a weekly subcutaneous injection. Your Sheffield GP will guide you through the injection process until you feel confident managing it independently at home. Most patients start seeing results within the first few weeks of treatment.

"Wegovy treatment works best when combined with lifestyle modifications. Our Sheffield team provides comprehensive support including dietary guidance and exercise recommendations."

Multi-Disciplinary Support Available
