Ide Lane Surgery

Ide Lane Surgery Official page for Ide Lane Surgery, Alphington, Devon We believe it is important that every person has a named, usual doctor.

We hold a vision for the type of service we try to offer, based on values we believe to be important. We aim for a blend of traditional, personal and family practice, using the most up to date equipment and proven treatments. To do this we work from purpose built premises, easily accessible to all, designed to be light and friendly. We encourage you to see your own doctor whenever possible, to help build relationships. Planned appointments are booked at 15 minute intervals to allow time to deal with problems more fully. We know that continuity of care is important to many patients, especially the elderly and those with complicated or multiple problems. We also think it makes sense, and value it in this practice. We realise, too, that some problems are urgent and need dealing with on the day. So we run an urgent appointments session in the mornings, shared amongst all the doctors working that day, to deal safely and promptly with patients who are acutely ill. Doctors, nurses and office staff meet together often to help keep the practice running smoothly. We value our work in training young general practitioners; and in teaching medical students by involving them in patient consultations. We welcome any comments you have about how we can improve our work.

Mounjaro (tirzepatide) – Who Can Get It on the NHS?

We've had many questions about Mounjaro, the new weight loss injection. Here's what you need to know:
Surgeries in Devon are not able to supply this at present as we are awaiting further information and guidance from the Integrated Care Board (ICB). When it does become available there are strict criteria regarding eligibility for patients. Please read the information below:

Mounjaro is currently only available on the NHS for a small group of patients, under strict criteria:

You must:
Be 18 or over
Have a BMI of 40+, or 37.5+ if you’re from a Black, Asian or other minority ethnic background
AND
Have 4 or more weight-related health conditions (e.g. type 2 diabetes, high blood pressure, high cholesterol, sleep apnoea, heart disease)

It's initially being prescribed by specialist hospital clinics, and will be rolled out in gradual stages to GPs from late June 2025 onwards – but only for people who meet the above criteria.

Thank you for helping us keep our lines clear for those who need medical care.

17/06/2025

Ide Lane Surgery will be closed today from 1:00pm to 2:00pm for essential resuscitation training.

Please note: our telephone lines will remain open during this time.
Thank you for your understanding.
