Private GP weight management in Newhaven — Medical weight loss support

Introduction

One in four adults in England is classified as obese, and many people in Newhaven are looking for a safe, sustainable way to change that. At Mayfield Clinic we offer private GP weight management that starts with a medical assessment and continues with personalised care. Quick access to a named GP, longer consultations and a clear plan make the difference between temporary diets and lasting health improvements.

Why choose a Private GP weight management programme in Newhaven?

Not all weight loss advice is the same. Our service for Newhaven patients is delivered from our Lewes practice, so you’ll be seen at Mayfield Clinic Lewes by an experienced GP who understands the complex causes of weight gain. We combine medical investigation with behaviour change, nutrition guidance and regular clinical review. That blend reduces risk and improves long-term outcomes.

What a medical weight loss consultation looks like

Your first private weight loss consultation in Newhaven begins with a thorough review of medical history, medications and relevant investigations such as blood tests for thyroid, diabetes and lipid profiles. We assess for hormonal or metabolic issues, medication-induced weight gain and psychological drivers of eating. Expect a practical plan that fits your life—not a one-size-fits-all diet.

Assessment and diagnostics

We use targeted tests to uncover hidden factors affecting weight. These can include fasting glucose or HbA1c, thyroid function tests and lipid screening. Where needed, we adjust medications in collaboration with your regular specialists or GP.

Nutrition and behaviour support

Our GPs provide evidence-based nutrition advice and behaviour strategies you can use straight away. That might include structured meal plans, portion guidance and realistic activity goals. For Newhaven patients, we suggest small, achievable changes that suit local routines—walks along the harbour, market-run shopping and practical meal prep for busy commutes to Lewes.

Doctor-supervised medications and newer treatments

When clinically appropriate, prescription weight management medications are offered under GP supervision. That includes modern options such as GLP-1 receptor agonists where suitable, alongside ongoing monitoring for side effects and effectiveness. Medication is an aid, not a replacement for lifestyle change—used carefully, it can accelerate early progress and improve motivation.

“Fast access to the same named doctor and regular reviews is central to safe, effective weight management.”

Continuity of care and follow-up

One of the advantages of a private GP pathway is continuity. You’ll see the same named doctor for follow-up appointments, which helps us refine your plan and address setbacks quickly. For patients in Newhaven we coordinate care at our Lewes clinic so your records and tests are seamless between visits.

Practical details for Newhaven patients

Although our service is promoted to Newhaven residents, consultations are delivered at our Lewes location. Find more information about local access here: Mayfield Clinic — Newhaven and book a clinical appointment here: Mayfield Clinic Lewes. All appointments should be booked online via the Book now button. Members may book directly by phone or via WhatsApp.

What results you can reasonably expect

Realistic targets are set at the first appointment. Typical safe weight loss is 0.5–1kg per week depending on individual factors. Our approach reduces risk, screens for underlying disease and supports sustainable habit change. We prioritise health markers—blood pressure, blood sugar and mobility—rather than rapid short-term weight changes.

How to prepare for your first appointment

Bring a list of current medications, any recent blood tests and a short food and activity diary for the previous week. Note any family history of metabolic disease. Preparing these details helps your named GP design a faster, more accurate plan at your first visit.
