Junior Doctor strikes

Please note that our practice are not expecting any disruption to our own services from the Junior Doctors strikes. However, referrals to hospitals and elective treatments at hospitals may be affected.

For patients that have been affected by any disruption at the hospital, please do contact the hospital team and not the practice as we have no control over the hospital appointment system at all.

thank you

Mounjaro and Weight loss jabs

Dear patients, you may have become aware of news today that NHS England is allowing GPs to prescribe weight loss injections (particularly Mounjaro, aka Tirzepatide) in practices.

Please note that whilst this is true on a national level, the responsibility for this service in Manchester lies with the Greater Manchester ICS (the local health board).

GMICS have yet to release any formal plans on Mounjaro for GPs but it is anticipated any time.

Please note that once the plans are available, the practice will receive a list of eligible patients from GMICS directly, and we will then be contacting them in due course. We are asking patients to NOT contact the practice regarding weight loss injections.

For the latest on the GMICS guidance please check their web page on this matter here:

Best wishes

Dear patients, Computer systems are down and this is a nationwide problem. this will heavily disrupt services today. We apologize for the disruption and will keep you updated

Edit - 19/7 - we have been informed that some parts of the system are being repaired but there is still a lot of disruption throughout and the disruptions may continue to affect systems. We have not been able to work our computers and have taken the decision to cancel our routine Saturday clinics. We apologise again for this disruption. We have contacted patients to rebook them for another time.
