In Reading, more residents are seeking effective options for sustainable weight loss than ever before. A recent UK survey found that over 60% of adults are actively looking for ways to manage their weight healthily. Yet, navigating your choices can be confusing—especially when it comes to Wegovy, one of the most talked-about treatments for weight management.

If you’re living in Reading and searching for how to get Wegovy, here’s what you need to know. Wegovy (semaglutide), as well as other medications like Ozempic and Mounjaro, are available via private GP consultation at Mayfield Clinic. Although our physical practice for Reading is nearby in Newbury, many of our clients from Reading make the short drive to receive the care and continuity they want—often managing to book follow-up appointments with the same named GP every time.

Wegovy for Weight Loss: How Does It Work?

Wegovy is a prescription-only medicine that mimics a hormone involved in appetite regulation. It helps reduce hunger and control cravings, which often leads to meaningful, sustained weight loss when paired with lifestyle support. In clinical trials, patients using Wegovy achieved significantly more weight loss than those relying on diet and exercise alone.

How Can I Get Wegovy in Reading?

Accessing Wegovy for weight loss in Reading starts with booking a private consultation at Mayfield Clinic—either online or, for members, over the phone or WhatsApp. Our team provides fast access to experienced doctors—often with appointments available within days. At your initial visit, your GP will review your medical history, current health, and goals. Expect baseline blood tests, weight, and BMI measurement. If Wegovy is suitable for you, your doctor will guide you on how to use the weekly injection and schedule you for regular check-ins to monitor your results and adjust your treatment.

“Our patients in Reading value the opportunity for rapid, reliable access to specialist GPs at Mayfield Clinic. We ensure every prescription for Wegovy is uniquely tailored and safely managed for your wellbeing.”
