More than a quarter of adults in the UK are living with obesity, and for many, medical treatments such as Wegovy (semaglutide) provide the extra support that diet and exercise alone can’t. If you live in St Ives and are exploring Wegovy for weight management, this article explains exactly how to access treatment through Mayfield Clinic — and what to expect when you’re seen at our Cambridge practice.
Wegovy is a high‑dose semaglutide formulation licensed for weight management. It reduces appetite and helps people feel fuller for longer. Other options you may hear about include Ozempic (another semaglutide product) and Mounjaro (tirzepatide). Your GP will recommend the most appropriate medicine for your clinical needs.
Wegovy is typically offered to carefully selected patients with obesity or weight‑related health issues. Suitability depends on your BMI, medical history, current medications and any previous problems such as pancreatitis or pregnancy. A private GP assessment identifies whether Wegovy is right for you.
We prioritise careful selection and monitoring — that’s how effective, long‑term weight management is delivered safely.

1. Book online for a standard private GP consultation. Members can book directly by phone or via WhatsApp for faster access and to see the same named doctor consistently. 2. A full clinical assessment is carried out: weight, height, BMI, medical history and medications. 3. Baseline blood tests are arranged to check glucose, liver and renal function and other markers. 4. If appropriate, your GP will discuss Wegovy (semaglutide) or alternatives and issue a private prescription.
Wegovy is given as a once‑weekly injection. Your GP will show you how to administer the injection safely and that training continues until you feel confident. Monthly follow‑ups help monitor response, side effects and allow dose adjustments. Long‑term success is supported by integrating lifestyle changes and access to a multidisciplinary team — psychologists, dietitians and exercise therapists where needed.
Cost varies: private consultation fees, the price of the Wegovy pen itself and ongoing follow‑ups are separate. We discuss all charges transparently during your consultation. Buying Wegovy from unregulated online sources is risky — always use a reputable private clinic and have monitoring in place.
We make fast access a priority for St Ives patients. If you want to see the same doctor each time, tell us when you book — many patients value continuity of care with a named GP at Mayfield Clinic. Although we deliver your appointments from our Cambridge practice, travel from St Ives is straightforward — it’s a short drive or rail journey and many patients combine their appointment with a riverside walk along the Great Ouse.
Bring a list of current medications, any previous blood test results, details of past illnesses and a summary of weight loss attempts. This helps the GP make a fast, informed decision about Wegovy or alternative approaches.
