Weight loss

20/10/2025 by Dr Amanda Northridge

Introduction

Nearly 70% of adults say weight affects their health and confidence. If you live in Hassocks and want professional, sustainable help, Mayfield Clinic’s private GP weight management in Hassocks offers a medical-first approach that fits real life. Expect longer appointments, tailored plans and continuity with the same named doctor — not a rushed, one-off consultation.

Why choose a private GP weight management programme?

Private GP weight management in Hassocks focuses on safe, clinically supervised change. Our GPs assess medications, hormones, sleep and mental health — all can affect weight. We use evidence-based nutrition guidance, behaviour strategies and monitoring to reduce risk and support lasting results.

What a typical programme looks like

Your GP in Hassocks will begin with a comprehensive assessment: medical history, bloods and metabolic screening. From there we set achievable targets, agree frequency of follow-ups and decide whether prescription weight management medications are appropriate. Appointments are longer than standard NHS slots so we can address root causes and personalise your plan.

Medical treatments and when they’re used

When clinically appropriate, our GPs can prescribe licensed medications to aid weight loss alongside lifestyle changes. Newer therapies can be part of a safe, supervised plan. All prescriptions are chosen based on your health profile and monitored in follow-up visits to manage side effects and adjust dosing.

Continuity and accessibility

Mayfield Clinic prioritises fast access to doctors and regular reviews with the same named GP. For Hassocks patients we provide care from our nearby Hurstpierpoint practice; book online via the Book now button to arrange your first consultation. Members may book by phone or WhatsApp for greater convenience.

Monitoring and follow-up

We schedule regular check-ups to review weight, bloods, blood pressure and mental wellbeing. Data-driven targets, prescription reviews and nutrition tweaks keep progress on track. If you live in Hassocks, expect local knowledge and practical advice that suits South Downs lifestyles — from weekend walking routes to food-shopping tips at local markets.

Who benefits most?

People with obesity, metabolic concerns, or weight-related comorbidities find doctor-supervised weight loss most effective. If hormones, thyroid function or medications may be contributing, our GP-led approach in Hassocks identifies those drivers and treats them appropriately.
