Private GP weight management in Ditchling: safe, personalised and medically supervised

More than 60% of adults in England are living with overweight or obesity, and many people from Ditchling are looking for support that is both effective and tailored. Our private GP weight management service gives you fast access to a named doctor, longer consultations and a medically supervised plan that suits your lifestyle.

Why choose a Private GP weight management Ditchling service?

We treat weight as a medical issue, not a one-size-fits-all challenge. At Mayfield Clinic we assess hormones, metabolic factors and any medications that might be contributing to weight gain. You’ll see the same GP regularly so your plan evolves with you; that continuity matters for lasting results.

What happens at your first weight loss consultation (private)?

The first appointment is longer. We review your medical history, run targeted blood tests, measure body composition where useful and set realistic short- and long-term goals. For patients in Ditchling you will be seen at our Lewes practice — details here: Mayfield Clinic, Lewes — while we remain visible and committed to the Ditchling community via our local information page: Mayfield Clinic — Ditchling.

Medical weight loss options we provide

We combine evidence-based lifestyle support with medical options when clinically appropriate. That can include prescription medications, newer GLP-1 class treatments for eligible patients, and ongoing monitoring to watch for side effects and adjust doses. Our approach is medical weight management Ditchling residents trust because it’s safe and supervised.

Nutrition, behaviour and realistic goals

Medication helps some patients, but sustainable loss depends on nutrition and behaviour change. Our GPs work with you to create practical eating strategies, activity plans and coping techniques for stress or emotional eating. We set measurable milestones so you can track progress between GP appointments.

How continuity and quick access matter

Fast access to a GP means problems are spotted early. Regular appointments with the same named doctor improve adherence and outcomes. That’s central to our GP weight loss programme Ditchling patients are offered via the Lewes clinic.
