The Beech House team from last Saturday's vaccine clinic. A huge thank you to all our patients - we have vaccinated hundreds of patients over the last couple of Saturdays and everyone who attended was cheerful and friendly which made it a pleasure to be at work on a weekend! 😀

You can now self refer, if you are eligible, to the service for the use of Mounjaro for weight management.

This is commissioned locally and the preference is for eligible patients to self refer:

Please ensure you read more about the service before referring:
https://letsgetbetter.co.uk/weight-management/

Once you have self referred they will triage you and then transfer the initiation and management of the medication to a local community pharmacy (your local 'chemist')

The NHS provides a wide range of advice and tools to support healthy weight loss. We understand that many people are looking for support in managing their weight and so we’re working hard to improve access to services and new treatments for people living with obesity.

💉 Who can have the Covid vaccine?

Adults aged 75 and over.

Residents in care homes for older adults.

Immunosuppressed individuals aged 6 months and above (please note: eligibility depends on very specific criteria and does not include the same cohort of patients as the flu vaccine – our team will check this for you).

Thank you for your understanding.

When you find out you are pregnant, you can refer yourself for NHS pregnancy care so you start care with a midwife right away.
Once you sign up online, the maternity team will contact you to book your first appointment with a midwife.
You should do this by the 10th week of pregnancy, if possible, but it’s never too late to start. If you're over 10 weeks, refer yourself as soon as you can.
Start here: https://www.nhs.uk/.../refer-yourself-for-nhs-pregnancy.../

Did you know your local NHS spends over £330 million on medicines every year? A big chunk of that, £26 million is wasted on unused repeat prescriptions. Before you reorder your medicines, check what you've already got and only order if you're running low - you can always get more when you need it. You’ll be helping your local NHS, keeping your home safer, and protecting the environment.
Only order what you need.
Stay well, stay safe, stay green.
