Mounjaro
Considering Mounjaro (tirzepatide) injections for weight loss?
You might have heard that these injections are now available through the NHS. The Integrated Care Board (ICB) has been tasked by NHS England to provide these in GP practices by 23rd June.
However, it's important to note:
- Mounjaro will only be available for specific groups of patients with certain health conditions, which means only a few patients in each practice will qualify.
- The details on how GPs will administer these injections are still being finalised.
Therefore, we kindly ask you not to book an appointment regarding Mounjaro just yet, as we may not be able to meet your expectations at this time.
We promise to update our website and other channels with more information as soon as we can offer Mounjaro.
Additionally, once the details are finalised, we will need time to arrange training and set up clinics.
Our goal is to assist as many patients as possible, but we are guided by the ICB's plans based on NHS England's requirements.
Please bear with us, and we will inform you as soon as we are ready to assist with Mounjaro. Thank you for your understanding and patience!

NO SHOW APPOINTMENTS
IF YOU CAN NOT MAKE YOUR APPOINTMENT PLEASE CANCEL THIS IN ADVANCE.
IN THE LAST 2 WEEKS WE HAVE HAD A TOTAL OF 137 PEOPLE WHO DID NOT ATTEND APPOINTMENTS AND DID NOT LET US KNOW.
This results in appointment slots going to waste which not only wastes our clinicians time but also prevents those who really need appointments from being able to get booked in instead.
GP practices across the country are getting regular abuse due to lack of appointments and a main contributing factor of this is no show appointments.
Continued offenders will receive letters informing you of your missed appointment and if this continues you may result in removal from our practice.
We understand it can be difficult to get through via telephone ( we are in the process of updating our telephone system) but you can cancel through your online services as an alternative.
We of course understand there are circumstances beyond your control that may result in a missed appointment but where possible please make the surgery aware as soon as you can.

eConsult
- eConsult Requests -
Please be mindful that eConsults should only be used for non urgent issues.
Although eConsult will not let you submit a request if your answers indicate you need immediate medical attention, sometimes if patients do not provide enough detail on the form these can filter through the system and potentially delay emergency treatment.
