🚨 Illegal Weight-Loss Drugs Seized in Lincolnshire 🚨

Nearly 2,000 doses of dangerous, unregulated weight-loss drugs have been seized during raids in Lincolnshire.

According to BBC News, the drugs were discovered at an agricultural building and a residential property following reports of people becoming unwell after taking them. The operation involved Lincolnshire Police and partner agencies.

⚠️ Fake or illegally supplied medications can:
• Contain harmful or unknown substances
• Be incorrectly dosed
• Cause serious side effects
• Interact dangerously with other medicines
• Put your life at risk

Before buying weight-loss medication online, learn how to spot fake medicines here:

If it’s cheap, sold without proper medical checks, or seems too good to be true then it probably is.

Your health is not worth the risk. Always use regulated pharmacies and qualified healthcare professionals.

Stay safe.

Almost 2,000 doses were found at an agricultural building in Newton and a property in Grantham.

Humber & North Yorkshire Weight Management Service

We’re pleased to share some long-awaited news: from 6th October 2025, the Humber and North Yorkshire Weight Management Service is open for referrals.

This NHS-commissioned service gives you access to the weight loss injection Tirzepatide (Mounjaro®) for up to 1 year, combined with a required 9-month lifestyle support programme. You will need to actively engage with the lifestyle programme to maintain eligibility.

Eligibility
The criteria are set by NHS England, and for the first cohort you may qualify if you have:

A BMI of 40 or above (or 37.5 or above for people from South Asian, Chinese, other Asian, Middle Eastern, Black African, or African-Caribbean backgrounds)

AND
At least four of the following health conditions:
• Heart or circulation problems (heart attack, angina, stroke)
• High blood pressure
• High cholesterol
• Sleep apnoea
• Type 2 diabetes

If you have Type 2 diabetes, a separate set of criteria applies for accessing Tirzepatide. Your GP can explain this.

Important note: This is a separate NHS-commissioned service, entirely independent of Gilberdyke Health Centre.

Your GP cannot influence or interfere with the selection process or the way the service operates.

Eligible referrals are reviewed by Yorkshire Health Partners (YHP). If accepted, you’ll be referred to a community pharmacist who will manage your weight loss injection treatment over the year.

How to get started?

You can self-refer online:
https://yorkshirehealthpartners.co.uk/weight-loss-management-service

Find more details about the service here:

https://letsgetbetter.co.uk/weight-management/

If you’re unsure about your BMI or want a reference point, you can use the NHS adult BMI calculator tool here:

https://www.nhs.uk/health-assessment-tools/calculate-your-body-mass-index/

The NHS provides a wide range of advice and tools to support healthy weight loss. We understand that many people are looking for support in managing their weight and so we’re working hard to improve access to services and new treatments for people living with obesity.
