Weight Loss Injections
Further to recent reports in the national news suggesting that weight loss injections can be prescribed by GPs, we would like to clarify that currently, we are unable to prescribe these medications directly.
Access to weight loss injections such as Mounjaro (tirzepatide) remains only available via referral to specialist weight management services. These services assess eligibility based on specific clinical criteria, and prescribe medications as part of a comprehensive treatment plan.
If you are interested in weight management support or wish to discuss your options, please complete an econsult using the following link - Contact us about your request - Accurx Patient Portal
Thank you for your understanding.
Changes to cervical screening from 1st July 2025
Cervical screening (which used to be called a smear test) is a free test on the NHS to help prevent cervical cancer. It is not a test to diagnose cervical cancer. All women and people with a cervix are eligible for cervical screening between the ages of 25-64.
Currently in England you are invited for routine cervical screening every three years between the ages of 25-49, then every five years until you are 64.
NHS England has announced that from 1 July 2025 all women and people with a cervix of screening age (25-64) will be invited every five years in England, unless they are at a higher risk of cervical cancer because of high-risk Human papillomavirus (HPV) and/or cell changes, when they will be seen more often.
