Mounjaro requests for Weight loss.
Please note GP's CANNOT prescribe or advise patients on weight loss injections.
Responsibility for prescribing and monitoring these drugs will lie with the private provider or Secondary Care Specialist, Please do not ask your GP about suitability as this will be assessed by the pharmacist or company providing them.
The Practice will not provide letters to Companies regarding patient suitability for these injections. We can provide medical history summaries where requested by the company, but only with a signed consent form from the patient to allow release of this information.
It should be noted that providing this information does not mean a GP has checked whether it is safe or not for a patient to be prescribed this treatment.

Message From Drs John & Jennifer Kennedy:
As we enter the winter months. we anticipate an increase in demand for our services, particularly from patients with respiratory symptoms. This message is to provide a gentle reminder that most respiratory symptoms (cough, mild fever, runny nose, sore throat etc) are due to viral upper respiratory tract infections and tend to pass within 1-2 weeks. There is some very useful information in this patient information summary relating to upper respiratory tract infections which we ask you to consider if you have any respiratory symptoms.
Thank you for your support
Dr Jennifer Kennedy
