Weight Loss Injections

We have seen an increase in requests from patients who have seen on the news or read on Social Media that GPs can now prescribe a medicine called tirzepatide (Mounjaro®) on the NHS to help people lose weight. While this is true in some parts of the country, South Yorkshire ICB has not yet confirmed if it will be available on the NHS for weight loss in our region.

This means that we are currently unable to prescribe Mounjaro or any other similar medication for weight loss at Braithwell Road Surgery.

If/ when the decision is made to allow us to prescribe it, it will be limited to a small group of patients who will need to meet strict national criteria.

Details of which can be found in the link below.

In the meantime, please refrain from making Anima requests or requesting appointments with clinicians, as your request will be declined.

The new weight management medication, ‘Tirzepatide’ (brand name Mounjaro®) is being made available to NHS patients to support weight loss.

The purpose of Brain Tumour Awareness Month is to shine a light upon this neglected condition, such that people can better understand what it really means to have a brain tumour.

Symptoms of a brain tumour
Symptoms depend on where the tumour is in the brain and how slowly or quickly it grows.

The major symptoms to look out for are:
changes in personality or behaviour
problems with thinking, reasoning or memory
headaches
seizures (fits)

These symptoms can be caused by a brain tumour. But they can be caused by other conditions too. It is important to get them checked by your GP straight away.

We have more information about the signs and symptoms of brain tumours related to their position in the brain.
Find out more about the different tests and treatments for brain tumours.
