Private GP Weight Management in Barnet — Medical Weight Loss Support

Private GP weight management in Barnet: safe, medical support that fits your life

Losing weight is medical, behavioural and practical work — and the most durable results come from a plan built around you. At Mayfield Clinic our Barnet patients receive GP-led weight management that looks for causes, not quick fixes. Expect longer appointments, repeat reviews with the same doctor, personalised plans and access to prescription treatments when clinically appropriate.

Why choose a private GP weight loss programme?

Medical weight loss through a private GP offers faster access to a named doctor and continuity of care — both proven to improve outcomes. Our Barnet patients often tell us the difference is being listened to and having a GP who understands their history, medications and lifestyle. That matters when assessing hormonal issues, metabolic conditions or medications that affect weight.

Initial assessment: what we check

Your first consultation in Barnet (delivered from our Edgeware practice) is thorough. We review medical history, current medications, mental health, sleep, and activity. Blood tests and hormonal screens are available to identify thyroid, insulin resistance or other metabolic contributors. Where appropriate we measure body composition, not just weight.

Personalised plan: nutrition, activity and meds

We build a plan tailored to your life. That can include structured dietary guidance, realistic activity targets, sleep hygiene and stress-management techniques. If clinically suitable, our GPs prescribe evidence-based weight management medications to support appetite, metabolism or glucose control. These treatments are integrated with lifestyle changes and monitored over time.

Ongoing monitoring and the same named GP

Regular reviews are central to our approach. Barnet patients benefit from seeing the same named doctor at follow-up appointments, allowing incremental adjustments and close safety monitoring. We use objective measures — weight, waist, bloods — and review side effects, mental wellbeing and medication interactions.

Fast access to a doctor plus consistent follow-up improves adherence and clinical safety — that’s the Mayfield Clinic promise for Barnet residents.

How we handle prescription weight loss medications

Our GPs in Barnet only prescribe when clinically indicated. We discuss benefits, risks and alternatives, and set clear review points. Newer therapies can be highly effective but require medical oversight. You’ll have scheduled check-ups, blood monitoring where necessary, and clear exit plans or stepping-down strategies.

Who is suitable for private GP weight management?

We see adults with BMI concerns, those with metabolic syndrome, type 2 diabetes or someone needing an extra layer of support to change long-standing habits. If you live in Barnet and prefer private care, your appointments will be delivered from our Edgeware clinic — details here: Mayfield Clinic Barnet and our practice in Edgeware: Edgeware location.

Local insight for Barnet patients

Barnet has lots of great green space for walking — integrating short, brisk walks in local parks can improve insulin sensitivity within weeks. Many patients report better adherence when activity is linked to daily routines such as school runs or commuting to High Barnet station.

Safety, privacy and medical governance

All care is delivered under Mayfield Clinic’s clinical governance. We prioritise safety: medication reviews, drug interaction checks and clear plans for side-effect management. Confidentiality is maintained, and all notes are stored securely.
