Update on weight loss jabs...

Various media outlets, including the BBC, reported on 23 June that GPs were "starting to prescribe weight loss jabs" such as Mounjaro and Wegovy.

Rules on GP prescribing remain strict, and we are currently unable to prescribe these jabs in our local area.

There are only 995 people eligible under the new rules in the entire West Yorkshire area. Patients who are eligible will be invited automatically, although the NHS in West Yorkshire has not yet developed the package of care necessary to prescribe these safely, so invitations will not be sent until appropriate services are in place.

THERE IS NO NEED TO CONTACT THE GP PRACTICE TO SEE IF YOU ARE ELIGIBLE - you will be invited in due course. 

 

Weight loss jabs and contraception/HRT

We are aware of a number of patients who are seeking private prescriptions outside of the NHS for these jabs. Please note these jabs can affect the way in which hormones such as oral contraceptive pills and HRT work. If you have started treatment on a private basis and are on the oral contraceptive or HRT, please make sure you have discussed the implications with the prescriber of your injection.
