If you are buying weight loss injections privately, it is your responsibility to give the private prescriber full and accurate information about your past medical history and other medications.
We are sending the attached letter to all private providers who are prescribing weight loss injections. Please read the information in the letter if you are receiving private prescriptions for weight loss injections.

Dr Tharumanayagam and Dr Ahmed have completed their GP training with our practice, and we are delighted that they are both going to be staying on as Salaried GPs. Many of you will have met them already.
22/5/26 Nexplanon contraceptive license extended to 5 years
The Nexplanon contraceptive implant can now be used for 5 years instead of 3 following studies that have shown that it is effective for 5 years.
If you currently have a Nexplanon implant, you can keep it for 5 years instead of 3. It can be taken out before this obviously if it is causing side effects or if you no longer need contraception for any reason.
