More Info
We know many patients are asking about Mounjaro after recent news reports, but it’s important to understand:
This medication is only available in very specific cases – most people will not qualify.
The NHS has strict rules:
✔ You must be 18+ with:
A BMI over 40 (or over 37.5 if you’re from a Black, Asian or minority ethnic background)
At least 4 serious weight-related health conditions (like diabetes, heart disease or severe sleep apnoea)
Please note:
This is not for general weight loss
Our team cannot prescribe it unless you meet all these requirements
Asking if you don’t qualify takes time away from patients who need urgent care
We’ve attached the official NHS notice with full details.

Once you turn 50, the NHS sends you a free, at-home bowel screening test. It’s quick, easy, and can catch cancer early—even before symptoms appear. Don’t wait; do your test and return it. If you notice any symptoms, contact your GP right away.
Bowel cancer is more treatable when caught early!


Managing Your Heart Failure: Know When to Seek Help
Living with heart failure can be challenging, but with the right support, you can stay in control of your health. The Brent Community Heart Failure Service is here to help you manage your condition and recognise when you need extra support.
Understanding Your Symptoms
Knowing the signs of worsening heart failure helps you take action at the right time. Here’s what to look out for:

Your legs or ankles are more swollen than normal.
You feel breathless at night or need extra pillows to sleep.
You’re less active than usual or feeling more tired or muddled.
If you notice these changes, call our Patient Initiated Follow-Up (PIFU) service for advice before your symptoms get worse.
When to Seek Urgent Help (Red Signs – Act Now)
Severe breathlessness or chest pain.
Fast, fluttering, or pounding heartbeat.
Fainting, dizziness, or blackouts.
Worsening confusion or other medical problems.
Diarrhoea or vomiting for more than 24 hours.
If you experience any of these, do not wait—contact your GP, call 111, or dial 999 immediately.

Help you understand your condition and medications.
Monitor your weight, blood pressure, and overall health.

GP surgeries can give someone secure access to another patient’s GP services, so they can help them manage their health and care.
This is sometimes called proxy access or third party access.
You can ask to be a proxy, to help someone else with their prescriptions, appointments or other GP services, or choose a proxy to help you with yours. More info
