Meet Dr William Shaw
Founder of New Jackson Healthcare | GP with a Focus on Lifestyle and Weight Management Medicine
Hi — I’m Dr William Shaw, founder of New Jackson Healthcare.​
I started this clinic to offer something different: personalised, doctor-led care that focuses on helping you feel better now — and stay healthier for years to come.​
As a fully qualified GP with over 10 years of NHS experience, I’ve seen how powerful lifestyle changes can be when they’re backed by evidence, tailored to the individual, and supported with real, face-to-face care.​
I hold formal accreditation in weight management medicine and apply the core principles of lifestyle medicine throughout my practice — helping patients prevent illness, reduce long-term risk, and improve day-to-day wellbeing.
Whether you’re struggling with energy, managing a chronic condition, looking to lose weight safely, or aiming to optimise your health and performance, I’m here to support you with care that’s grounded in science and built around your goals.
New Jackson Healthcare exists to offer a modern, preventative approach to medicine — helping people take control of their health in a way that’s sustainable, personalised, and effective.
If that sounds like what you’ve been looking for, I’d love to help you get started.
Our
Story
After more than a decade working as an NHS GP — a role I continue to value — I often find myself frustrated that I can’t practise the kind of medicine I believe in. I don’t have the time to support patients in making the changes that truly transform their health.
​
I believe in the power of lifestyle medicine: helping people prevent illness, manage chronic conditions, and optimise their wellbeing through evidence-based changes to habits like nutrition, sleep, movement, and stress. But in standard NHS settings, I’m usually treating disease rather than preventing it — and there’s little space to focus on longevity or performance.
​
At New Jackson Healthcare, I can offer something different. Longer consultations. Real follow-up. And personalised, doctor-led care that puts prevention and optimisation at the centre.
​
There’s currently no NHS weight management clinic in Manchester — and limited support for people who want to take charge of their long-term health. This clinic is for those people. If you’ve been looking for a new kind of care, built around you — you’ll find it here.

Opened Summer 2025
