Private GP weight management in Oxshott: medically supervised plans that work

Private GP weight management in Oxshott: a practical medical approach

Around one in three adults in the UK is living with overweight or obesity, and safe, sustainable change usually needs medical oversight. If you live in Oxshott and want targeted, doctor-led weight loss support, Mayfield Clinic’s Oxshott service (delivered from our Cobham practice) offers tailored plans that fit your life.

How our GP-led weight management works

We start with a comprehensive consultation: medical history, medications review, resting blood pressure and baseline blood tests where needed. That lets our GP identify hormonal or metabolic factors that may be slowing weight loss, such as thyroid dysfunction, polycystic ovary syndrome or medication effects. From Oxshott you’ll be seen at our Cobham clinic — book details here: Mayfield Clinic Oxshott and clinical appointments take place at Mayfield Clinic Cobham.

Personalised plans, not one-size-fits-all

Every GP weight loss programme is individual. We set realistic goals and design a plan covering nutrition, activity, sleep and behavioural strategies. Where appropriate and clinically safe, our doctors may prescribe licensed weight management medications to accelerate progress alongside lifestyle changes. Appointments are longer than standard NHS slots so your named GP can explore the root causes and tailor follow-up.

Monitoring and adjusting for long-term success

Regular follow-ups are essential. From Oxshott, patients attend Cobham for initial testing and review, then continue with scheduled check-ups to monitor weight, vitals and medication effects. We run blood tests to check glucose, lipids and thyroid function and adjust the plan if progress plateaus. Continuity matters: seeing the same GP improves outcomes and keeps plans safe.

“Medical supervision reduces risks and helps translate short-term change into lasting habits.”

Who benefits from a GP weight loss programme?

People with complex needs often see the biggest gains: those with multiple medications, metabolic syndrome, or a history of failed diets. Professional weight loss support from a private GP is also ideal if you need rapid access to blood tests, prescription options or time to discuss psychological drivers of eating.
