**MEDICATIONS FROM PRIVATE CLINICS**
In line with local and national guidelines, Newburgh and Abernethy Surgery is not currently able to prescribe Mounjaro (or other weight loss injections) privately to our patients. We are aware that some of our patients are attending private clinics in order to receive those.
Please note, the practice is not responsible for any prescribing, monitoring, or managing side effects of medications prescribed by anyone outside of the NHS. This includes weight loss injections, medicinal cannabis and medication for ADHD.
Some of those medications can interfere with your current treatments, in particular hormonal medications and the contraceptive pill. It is advisable to have a full discussion with your private clinician about possible interactions with your current medications before commencing any treatment. If you do take regular medication, become unwell or are diagnosed with another ailment during your course of treatment you should also make your private clinician aware of this.

*Polite Notice*
As all our patients will be aware, parking at the practice can be difficult during busy periods and spaces are limited. We would like to take the opportunity to highlight that our car park is solely for the use of patients attending appointments at the practice, and staff attending the practice for work purposes. There have been instances recently of members of the public leaving their cars in the car park for hours/days at a time despite there being clear signs to this effect. We are appealing to local residents and their guests to please refrain from using our private car park so we can keep our parking spaces for those who need them the most.
Thank you for your cooperation and understanding.
