Private GP Weight Management in Letchworth Garden City — Medical Weight Loss

Private GP weight management for Letchworth Garden City patients

Around 28% of adults in England now live with obesity. That figure matters because safe, sustained weight loss is rarely a one-size-fits-all project. At Mayfield Clinic we offer private GP weight management for people in Letchworth Garden City who want medically supervised, practical plans that fit real lives.

What a GP-led programme looks like

Your first appointment is a thorough clinical assessment. We check medical history, medications, blood tests and metabolic markers, and screen for hormonal or psychological contributors to weight. From there your GP designs a personalised plan: tailored nutrition advice, realistic activity goals, structured follow-up and medical options when indicated. Many patients from Letchworth Garden City are seen at our nearby Hitchin practice — see our Hitchin clinic page for details: Mayfield Clinic Hitchin. You can also read about our local offer on our Letchworth Garden City information page: Letchworth Garden City.

Doctor-supervised treatments and newer medical options

We provide prescription weight management medications where clinically appropriate and after careful assessment. Treatments can include medications that support appetite regulation and metabolic change; each prescription is accompanied by monitoring and follow-up to manage side effects and measure progress. Medication is used as part of a broader package — not a quick fix.

Longer consultations, same named GP

Unlike many high-volume clinics, Mayfield Clinic offers longer appointments so your GP can explore the causes behind weight gain: sleep, stress, thyroid or other hormonal issues, life circumstances and mental health. We also give continuity of care — regular access to the same named doctor — which improves outcomes and keeps plans on track. That continuity is available for people living in Letchworth Garden City and attending our Hitchin clinic.

Monitoring and measurable goals

Progress is tracked with regular check-ups, repeat blood tests and objective measures such as body composition or waist circumference when useful. We set short-term, measurable goals and adjust treatment based on results and lifestyle changes. If you live in Letchworth Garden City, your GP will explain precisely how often you need reviews and what markers we use.

“Clinical weight management is about safe weight change over months, not dramatic losses in weeks. We build plans people can keep.”
