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/

Summary Care Record
The NHS in England is introducing the Summary Care Record, which will be used in emergency care situations. The record will contain information about any medicines you are taking, allergies you suffer from and any bad reactions to medicines you have had to ensure those caring for you have enough information to treat you safely. This information will be available to authorised health care staff providing your care anywhere in England.
We recommend that you read this information available from the NHS by visiting www.nhscarerecords.nhs.uk or by telephoning the helpline on 0300 123 3020.
Your decision is required when registering with Priory Medical Group.
NHS England Out of Area Scheme
PMG are not currently signed up to the NHS England Out of Area Scheme. Any patients formally registered on the scheme from before 2018 will have their status honoured, but would be encouraged to consider registration at a local GP practice, as all community services are being closely aligned with GP practice geographical boundaries. For information about practices offering this scheme, please contact NHS111.
