Mounjaro and Wegovy prescribed and reviewed on-site by an independent prescriber, a short drive up from Peacehaven. Free consultation, monthly reviews, stop anytime.
Mounjaro and Wegovy, prescribed on-site by an independent prescriber.
Coldean Pharmacy, reached from Peacehaven via Rottingdean and the B2123 over the Downs, is where Brighton Clinics runs its weight-management clinic. Every stage, from free consultation to monthly review, happens face to face with a named independent prescriber.
With no weight-management clinic in Peacehaven itself, the realistic choice is usually an anonymous online subscription or a short drive over the Downs to a prescriber who actually sees you every month. We think the drive wins.

Where can Peacehaven residents get weight loss injections prescribed?
At Coldean Pharmacy, 16 Beatty Avenue, Coldean, Brighton BN1 9ED, roughly eight miles and 22 minutes from Peacehaven via Rottingdean and the B2123 over the Downs. Brighton Clinics runs its weight-management clinic there, with the free consultation, the prescription and every monthly review handled face to face by an independent prescriber, unlike a postal subscription. Call 01273 605657 or book online.
This page is written and clinically reviewed by the pharmacist team behind Brighton Clinics' weight-management service, led by Superintendent Pharmacist Brijesh Thaker (GPhC 2079034) with Kathryn Harries (GPhC 2057551), following NICE guidance on obesity, NHS guidance on obesity and NHS healthy weight guidance. Brighton Clinics is a GPhC-registered pharmacy, number 9010023. Treatment is not suitable for everyone, eligibility is confirmed only after a consultation and clinical assessment.
What's the short version of how this treatment works?
Here is the short version. These are weekly injections that copy gut hormones your body already makes after a meal. One type works through a single hormone pathway, GLP-1; the other works through two, GLP-1 and GIP. Stomach emptying slows, appetite drops, and the constant thinking-about-food that undermines most diets goes quiet. You still need to eat reasonably well; the medicine simply removes the background hunger that has been working against you, which is usually the part willpower alone never manages to fix, and your prescriber explains which option fits your situation.
What do the trials actually show, honestly?
Here's what the trials actually show: clinical studies of GLP-1 based medicines and dual GLP-1/GIP based medicines have both recorded significant average weight loss for many people over roughly twelve to eighteen months. But averages are not guarantees, and the right medicine class for you depends on your history, how you tolerate treatment and a proper clinical assessment, all discussed at the free consultation rather than decided online. Both classes start on a low dose and step up gradually, and treatment is only offered where it's genuinely suitable.
Am I eligible near Peacehaven?
The rule is a BMI of 30 or above, or 27.5 or above if a weight-related condition is already in the picture, things like type 2 diabetes, high blood pressure or sleep apnoea. Several ethnic backgrounds qualify at a lower threshold, including South Asian, Chinese, other Asian, Middle Eastern, Black African and African-Caribbean, because health risks appear sooner. Rather than guessing from a website form, we check your actual BMI and history at the free consultation, and we're upfront if the answer is that treatment isn't right for you yet.
Is this treatment safe, and what should I expect?
The honest list: nausea, indigestion, constipation or diarrhoea in the first four to eight weeks, usually settling after that. Less common are gallbladder problems, and rarer still, pancreatitis. Given how far Peacehaven sits from the nearest walk-in service, we make sure this is all explained properly at the consultation rather than left for you to look up afterwards. Dosing starts low and increases gradually, and the monthly review means side effects are picked up in person rather than reported into a form nobody reads.
NHS or private, what's realistic here?
NHS Tier 3 services do prescribe this type of medicine, but access is limited and waits commonly run to many months or more, longer still given how few services exist locally. Ask your GP surgery about it if time is on your side. Otherwise, we offer the same treatment privately, with a monthly face-to-face review, no subscription and no contract, so stopping is as simple as not booking the next appointment.
Out on a limb no more
Peacehaven can feel genuinely out on a limb for services like this: no train station of its own, and most private clinics cluster in central Brighton, a slow crawl along the coast road at school-run time. The Downs route changes the equation: over to Rottingdean, up Falmer Road, one junction of the A27, twenty-two minutes door to door with parking waiting when you arrive. That matters enormously for a treatment built on monthly reviews, because the reviews are effectively the treatment, a prescriber who actually tracks your weight and side effects, adjusts the dose, and hands over the next month in person rather than by post. No subscription quietly deciding your dose by default, and no contract if you decide you want to stop.
How do I get to the clinic from Peacehaven?
From Peacehaven's clifftop, drop down onto the A259 and cut through Rottingdean before climbing Falmer Road (B2123) up over the Downs; past Woodingdean, the road meets the A27 at Falmer, where the first exit west leads onto Coldean Lane for Beatty Avenue, roughly eight miles and twenty-two minutes in total. Parking is free and on-site, which is useful given the Downs stretch can feel exposed in poor weather. Brighton Clinics, Coldean Pharmacy, 16 Beatty Avenue, BN1 9ED.

Common questions from Peacehaven patients.
Rather than checking this online and guessing, bring your details to the free consultation and an independent prescriber will confirm properly. The NICE criteria are a BMI of 30, or 27.5 with a condition such as type 2 diabetes, high blood pressure or sleep apnoea, and lower still for some ethnic backgrounds.
An independent prescriber checks your BMI properly, reviews your medical history and current medicines, and talks honestly about whether treatment is appropriate for you. Given the drive involved for many Peacehaven patients, we make sure the visit covers everything properly the first time rather than needing a repeat trip. There's no charge.
The number of hormone pathways involved. One is semaglutide, a GLP-1 medicine sold as Wegovy; the other is tirzepatide, a dual GLP-1/GIP medicine sold as Mounjaro. Both are prescription-only, and which, if either, suits you is decided only if it's clinically appropriate for you after a consultation and assessment.
These medicines copy gut hormones your body already makes after eating. One class works through a single pathway, GLP-1; the other through two, GLP-1 and GIP. Stomach emptying slows and appetite drops, removing the background hunger that willpower alone rarely manages to override.
Through the same monthly review every patient gets, regardless of how far they've travelled: weight, side effects and dose all checked properly in person. Dosing starts low and rises gradually. Treatment isn't suitable for everyone, and the consultation is where that's established honestly.
In roughly the first month or two, nausea, indigestion, constipation or diarrhoea are the ones most people notice, generally easing off from there. Gallbladder problems turn up less often, pancreatitis rarer again. Nothing on that list gets glossed over at the consultation, and the dose rises gradually to limit it.
There's a wide spread between individuals, so the published figures work better as context than as a personal forecast. On these medicine classes, alongside diet and lifestyle changes, many people have shown significant average weight loss in trials, commonly in the mid-teens to low twenties as a percentage of body weight by around twelve to eighteen months.
An NHS Tier 3 referral through your GP is worth asking about if you can wait, since it's free, though waits commonly run to many months given limited local capacity. No referral is needed to book with us directly, and our private route is available now, with no contract.
For most patients, yes, since it's the part that actually keeps treatment safe and on track: weight checked, side effects discussed, dose adjusted if needed, next month's supply handed over, all in about ten to fifteen minutes with the same prescriber who already knows your history.
Often yes, high blood pressure is one of the conditions that can bring the eligibility threshold down to a BMI of 27.5. Whether it's actually suitable for you depends on your medicines and wider history, which your prescriber reviews properly before recommending anything.
Quick, assuming eligibility is confirmed at the consultation. Prescribing and your first injection are done there and then rather than at a separate appointment, so factoring in the drive over the Downs, most Peacehaven patients are still underway within about a week of first calling.
From Peacehaven, it's over the Downs via Rottingdean and the B2123 to the A27, about eight miles and twenty-two minutes to Coldean Pharmacy, 16 Beatty Avenue, BN1 9ED, where free patient parking is available right on-site, useful given the Downs stretch can feel exposed in poor weather.
Call 01273 605657 or use the online booking page, we can usually fit in a free consultation within the week. No GP referral required, and we'll be honest at the consultation if treatment isn't the right fit, with nothing to pay either way.
Yes, there's no subscription and no contract, so stopping is simply a case of not booking the next appointment, and your prescriber is happy to talk it through first if you'd like to. Call 01273 605657 or use the booking page for current pricing on the medication.
Information on this page is for general guidance. Suitability for GLP-1 weight loss treatment depends on BMI, medical history, and clinical assessment. A consultation determines whether treatment is appropriate.
