Private GP weight management Wetherby | Medical weight loss with GP care

Introduction

Around two-thirds of UK adults are overweight or living with obesity; getting safe, lasting results takes medical expertise, not quick fixes. If you live in Wetherby and want professional support, Mayfield Clinic’s private GP weight management in Wetherby offers tailored programmes that start with a detailed clinical assessment and continue with regular, named-doctor follow-up. Walks along the River Wharfe or laps around Wetherby Racecourse are great for motivation, and our plans fit your life — not the other way round.

Why choose a private GP weight management plan?

Private GP-led weight loss gives rapid access to a clinician who understands your full health picture. At Mayfield Clinic we offer longer consultation times so your doctor can investigate underlying causes such as hormonal imbalances, thyroid or metabolic issues, and medication side-effects. That clinical perspective separates professional weight loss support from generic diet plans.

What we assess and why it matters

On your first appointment we review medical history, current medications, mental health, sleep, activity and previous weight-loss attempts. We use targeted blood tests when needed and screen for conditions that influence weight. For many people from Wetherby this diagnostic step is what unlocks sustainable progress.

Individualised plans that suit Wetherby patients

Plans combine nutrition guidance, realistic activity goals, behavioural strategies and clinical monitoring. We set measurable milestones and adjust the plan as you progress. If you prefer, we can integrate local options — for example, short park-based sessions around Wetherby or scheduling reviews to fit market day routines.

“Longer consultations and access to the same named GP mean we treat the person, not just the number on the scale.”

Medication and medical weight management

When clinically appropriate, our GPs can prescribe evidence-based medications, including newer GLP-1 receptor agonists, alongside lifestyle changes. We discuss risks, benefits and monitoring. Doctor supervised weight loss in Wetherby means prescribing is part of a wider medical strategy, not a standalone solution.

Monitoring, reviews and long-term support

Regular check-ups let us track health markers, adjust medications and address setbacks early. Many patients from Wetherby value seeing the same GP each time; continuity improves outcomes. We offer face-to-face reviews at our Leeds clinic (patients from Wetherby are seen at our Leeds location) and remote follow-ups as appropriate.

What to expect at your first consultation

Your GP will take a full history, perform necessary examinations and recommend tests. You’ll leave with a clear plan: short-term goals, a follow-up schedule and, if suitable, a discussion about medication. Appointments are designed to be thorough — expect time to explore complex factors such as stress-related eating or sleep issues.
