Are you experiencing symptoms of menopause or perimenopause?
Join us for a friendly, informative Menopause Education Session right here at your GP surgery.
At Nightingale Valley Practice we are in the process of addressing this by running menopause education session, called HRT and Biscuits.
Our aim is to give women up to date, accurate, evidence based information about the menopause and the various options available for menopause care.
Our sessions cover the definition of menopause, symptoms, treatment options, myth busting and explaining hormone replacement therapy use and its health benefits.
We hope to empower women to make informed decisions about their care during what can be a difficult time for many.
If you think this is something you would like to be put on the waiting list for. Please complete the HRT & Biscuits Education Session Form (below). If you have already completed this form, you are on our waiting list and we are contacting patients when sessions spaces become available.

📢 Important Update for Patients Taking Mounjaro (Tirzepatide)

If you're currently taking oral contraceptives (birth control pills) and have recently started Mounjaro for diabetes or weight management, please read carefully:

-What You Need to Know:
Mounjaro can delay the absorption of oral medications, including birth control pills. This may make your birth control less effective, especially during the first 4 weeks of starting Mounjaro or after a dose increase.

-What You Should Do:
Use a backup method (like condoms) for at least 4 weeks after starting Mounjaro or increasing your dose.
See the leaflet attached for more information.

Mounjaro Prescribing for weight loss in General Practice

You may have heard in the news today that GP’s are now able to prescribe Mounjaro (tirzepatide) for weight loss. Unfortunately, this is not yet the case, and it is not yet clear if this is a service we will be providing. If we do, we will publish details here including what are likely to be strict criteria around its prescribing. Please do not contact us about Mounjaro for weight loss by phone or our online system as it will delay our response to other patients contacting us about urgent medical issues.
