Private GP Weight Management in Acton — Medical Weight Loss Support

Weight loss

08/09/2025 by Dr Amanda Northridge

Introduction

Around 63% of adults in England are overweight or living with obesity, so personalised medical support matters. If you're searching for private GP weight management in Acton, Mayfield Clinic offers doctor‑led programmes designed for sustainable results rather than quick fixes. We combine clinical assessment, tailored plans and regular follow‑up with longer consultations and continuity of care from the same named GP.

Why choose private GP weight management with Mayfield Clinic for Acton patients?

Access is fast and focused. Our private GP weight loss service for Acton residents is arranged online via the Book now button; members can also book by phone or WhatsApp. Although we promote services for Acton, clinical appointments are delivered from our nearby Ealing practice — see our Ealing location here: https://www.mayfieldclinic.co.uk/locations/ealing. For Acton patients this means local convenience plus the clinical resources of a well‑equipped Ealing surgery.

What sets our service apart

Longer consultations (typically 30–45 minutes) allow your GP to explore medical, hormonal and psychological factors that influence weight. You will usually see the same named doctor each visit, enabling continuity and adjustments as you progress. We provide rapid access to investigations and blood tests, timely medication reviews and a structured follow‑up plan tailored to your lifestyle in Acton and Ealing.

What a Mayfield Clinic weight management programme includes

Every plan is personalised but most patients can expect:

Comprehensive clinical assessment: medical history, medication review, physical exam and targeted blood tests (thyroid function, HbA1c, lipids, liver function where appropriate).

Individualised plan: realistic SMART goals, a nutrition and activity framework, sleep and stress strategies, and stepwise milestones you can measure.

Medication when clinically appropriate: where indicated, our GPs can prescribe evidence‑based treatments as part of a wider plan — always with monitoring and safety checks. Newer licensed options such as GLP‑1 receptor agonists are considered based on clinical need and suitability.

Regular review and monitoring: scheduled follow‑ups to check progress, weight, waist circumference, blood pressure and lab markers. We adjust the plan and medications as needed.

Behavioural and psychological support: focus on triggers, mindful eating and relapse prevention — we refer to allied specialists where helpful.

What to bring and how to prepare for your first appointment

Before your initial consultation bring a current list of medications, a 3‑day food diary if possible, and a note of recent weight or any measurements. Expect to discuss past weight attempts, sleep patterns and your typical weekly activity. Your GP will set measurable short‑term targets and outline how often you’ll be seen — commonly every 2–8 weeks depending on treatment choice.

Clinical checks we routinely consider

To make weight loss safe and effective our GPs look for underlying drivers common in the London area and beyond: thyroid dysfunction, polycystic ovary syndrome, medication‑related weight gain, menopause and metabolic disorders. Tests may include TSH, fasting glucose or HbA1c, lipid profile and liver enzymes. These help us tailor interventions for Acton patients who will be treated at our Ealing clinic.

Doctor‑supervised weight loss reduces risk and improves long‑term outcomes — a medical plan that fits your life beats one‑size‑fits‑all approaches.

Local note for Acton residents

Acton is busy and diverse: we often see patients who cycle along Acton Park or shop on Churchfield Road and need plans that fit real life. If you live in Acton, you’ll be booked into appointments at our Ealing practice (link: https://www.mayfieldclinic.co.uk/locations/ealing) — it’s a short trip and gives you access to the full clinical team and diagnostics we don’t always provide in a satellite setting.

Practical tips that deliver results

Start with small, measurable changes: replace one sugary drink a day, add two extra walks per week, and record sleep time. Use a simple food diary for accountability, weigh weekly, and celebrate metric improvements such as blood pressure or energy as much as the number on the scale. Your GP will help create realistic timelines and check progress medically.
