We are pleased to update that normal services have resumed today following yesterday’s technical issues that all GP practices faced across Tameside. Although we had prepared for a short outage this resulted in systems only becoming available at 6.25pm.

Although we was able to inact our business continuity plans swiftly to mitigate the disruption and the team worked hard to continue services, this has resulted in additional work today.

We have made the decision to reduce the number of requests today to ensure those who enquired yesterday are prioritised and that we are operating safely.

We apologise for the inconvenience caused and your understanding.

We are currently experiencing an IT outage following a planned update scheduled for this afternoon. Unfortunately, the outage is lasting longer than anticipated and is affecting multiple IT systems. Our telephone lines remain operational, but some services may be slower than usual while the issue is resolved. If you are unable to get through and require medical advice or attention that cannot wait, please call NHS 111 or visit www.111.nhs.net. For medical emergencies, please dial 999. We are working hard to resolve the issue and appreciate your patience during this time. Thank you for your understanding.

** IMPORTANT PATIENT UPDATE **

Weight management in Greater Manchester

You may have seen this week in the media that the injection (Mounjaro) is available in primary care on the NHS for weight loss if eligible (BMI >40 and at least 4 health conditions from a specific list. )

Mounjaro and similar weight-loss drugs are NOT currently available on NHS prescription anywhere in Greater Manchester, including GP practices, pharmacies, hospitals, or specialist weight management services.

This decision has been made by NHS Greater Manchester who has confirmed that the roll-out will be made in stages.

Please visit NHS Greater Manchester’s website for up-to-date information:

Please do not contact the practice to request Mounjaro - you will be contacted directly if you are eligible when the service becomes available in the area.

Thank you for understanding.
