We have received a lot of requests for weight loss injections in the last few months, these drugs cannot be prescribed by clinicians working in general practice. There are other ways to seek support for weight loss - via City of York Council, the NHS programme (see below) or we can refer to Healthwise or Tier 3 weight management services where appropriate. The NHS Digital Weight Management Programme supports adults living with obesity who also have a diagnosis of diabetes, hypertension or both, to manage their weight and improve their health. It is a 12-week online behavioural and lifestyle programme that people can access via a smartphone or computer with internet access https://www.england.nhs.uk/digital-weight-management/

Registering a death
An update for bereaved families from York Registrars:
Informants/family members who require a death registration appointment with York Register Office are now able to make the appointment using their online service (or call 01904 553190). You should normally register a death in the area where the person died, within 5 days. A funeral can usually only take place after the death is registered. The online option will be available if it is less than 5 days between the death and the appointment date and the death hasn’t been referred to the Coroner. The Registrar must have received the MCCD from the surgery.
The link to use to make the appointment is: https://www.york.gov.uk/RegisterADeath
