This session is incredibly informative and eye-opening. Even if you have no current concerns about your young person, it's important to stay informed. Many parents and guardians once felt the same -until they didn’t.

Come and learn:

➡️The signs and symptoms to watch for
➡️How to support someone who may be using
➡️What services are available to help

🚨❗ Weight Loss Injection Update (e.g. Mounjaro) ❗🚨

We know many of you have been asking about new weight-loss medications like Mounjaro.

❌ South Yorkshire ICB have confirmed that these are not currently available on the NHS in our area for weight loss. They are on the red (non-prescribable) list until a full NHS service is launched to support and monitor treatment. ❌

➡️ This means we cannot prescribe Mounjaro or similar medications for weight loss at the surgery right now.

👥 Who will be eligible when the new service starts?

In the first 12 months, only a small number of patients will qualify. You must:

✅ Have a BMI over 40
✅ Meet at least 4 of these 5 conditions:

➡️Type 2 diabetes
➡️High blood pressure
➡️Sleep apnoea
➡️Heart disease or stroke
➡️High cholesterol/triglycerides

💬 Need help with weight loss now?

We’re still here to support you with:
➡️ NHS weight management referrals
➡️ Healthy lifestyle & diet advice
➡️ Medication reviews and risk assessments

We’ll keep you updated when the new service goes live!
