From Friday 19 June we will be asking all patients, relatives or carers to submit an eConsult via. our website for all clinical and non-clinical queries. This includes those queries which are urgent. It will go directly to the clinical triage team, by passing the reception team.

We will still be answering calls, enabling those patients without internet access to complete the eConsult details over the phone with our reception team members. This will take longer so please be patient if there is a queue on the phone systems as we transition our services.

We are wishing Dr Rashmi Sawhney a fond farewell on her last working day at the practice yesterday. She has been here for over 29 years and seen the practice go from strength to strength. She will be missed by generations of patients who have known her throughout her years working at Riverside Surgery.

We wish her all the very best for her future ventures.

We have received a lot of enquiries for Mounjaro. To clarify, the NHS has very strict guidance about who is eligible to receive this weight loss drug. The following criteria applies:

People must have:

1) a BMI of 40 or over (37.5 if from an ethnic background); and
2) 4 out of 5 of the following conditions: type 2 diabetes, high blood pressure, heart and vascular disease, high cholesterol and obstructive sleep apnoea.

Unfortunately if you do not fulfil all of the above criteria we will not be able to prescribe this medication for you.
