Update for Patients Using the myGP App

We’re aware that many patients are now experiencing issues with the myGP app. This is because it has been removed from the clinical systems nationally, meaning it may no longer work as expected for booking appointments, ordering prescriptions, or viewing your records.

Please note that this change is outside of the control of GP practices, and we understand it may cause some inconvenience.

To continue managing your healthcare online, we recommend using the NHS App, which is fully supported and offers the same core services, including:
✔ Booking GP appointments
✔ Requesting repeat prescriptions
✔ Viewing your medical record
✔ Accessing NHS 111 and more

📲 The NHS App is free to download from the App Store or Google Play.

💬 Need help getting set up?
There are a range of handy step by step videos on the NHS Digital website: https://digital.nhs.uk/services/nhs-app/toolkit/walk-through-videos -the-using-the-nhs-account-walk-through-videos

Please feel free to share this post with others who may be affected. Thank you for your understanding as this wider system change takes place.

Patients may be aware that there is a national policy around the availability of weight loss medication to some patients in general practice from 23 June 2025, specifically Tirzepatide (or Mounjaro® as it is commonly known).

The first group of people eligible under the national criteria includes individuals who:
• Have a Body Mass Index (BMI) of 40 kg/m² or more (or 37.5 kg/m² for people from minority ethnic family backgrounds)

And have at least four of the following long-term conditions:
• Non-diabetic hyperglycaemia or type two diabetes
• Hypertension (high blood pressure)
• Dyslipidaemia
• Established cardiovascular disease
• Obstructive sleep apnoea (formally diagnosed)

GPs in Lancashire and South Cumbria have not yet received confirmation that they will be commissioned to prescribe these medications.

We are awaiting official guidance and commissioning updates and until we receive this confirmation, this medication is not currently available from the practice.

We will provide an update as soon as more information becomes available.

In the meantime, we politely request that patients do not contact the practice about Tirzepatide.

Thank you for your understanding.

*** Wed 4th June ***

* Update 4pm - online submissions are open, we have been reassured the system is back online *

_________

We are experiencing issues with the online triage system today.
This seems to be a national problem.

We have suspended online submissions, so please phone the surgery if you need to request an appointment.

More staff will be answering the phones, but please bear with us, as this will increase the call times.

If your query is not urgent, please consider waiting to contact us.

We will continue to monitor the situation and update once we have switched it back on.

Thank you for your patience and understanding.
