Did you know that Wednesdays is when volunteers meet up to nurture and develop your fantastic local Community Garden at Downhorn Park?

💉💉Important Update: Mounjaro (Tirzepatide) Availability 💉💉

We’re aware there’s growing media attention and public interest in Mounjaro (tirzepatide), a new medication developed for treating type 2 diabetes and aiding weight loss.

Currently, Mounjaro is not available for prescription in our area, as NHS Devon has not yet approved it for local use. When authorised, it will be subject to strict national eligibility guidelines and will not be appropriate or accessible for everyone.

We kindly ask patients not to contact the surgery to request prescriptions or appointments for Mounjaro at this stage.

We’ll share any updates as soon as new guidance becomes available or local prescribing status changes.

If you do have queries then please refer to the MyHealth website.

Thank you for your continued support and understanding.
