Stroke or TIAPatients with a diagnosis of stroke will have an annual check of their blood pressure to ensure it is in a healthy range. They will also have a medication review to ensure they are on the correct medication and that all the necessary annual blood tests are up to date
We have received a large amount of requests for Mounjaro today. See below. We are **unable** to prescribe this medication at the present time. If and when the medication does become available to patients in York, we will update our website and Facebook page. Our receptionists and prescription admin team will send a text with information about the current funding situation and signpost to our website which details other resources to support weight loss. Patients with type 2 diabetes who are eligible for this medication, will be offered a trial as part of their regular diabetes review.
We continue to get regular requests for weight loss injections, patients in York cannot currently access these medications for obesity from GP practices. “In Humber and North Yorkshire we are finalising a new community-based weight management service to help deliver the wraparound care. Once ready this is in place, Tirzepatide will be available to patients who meet the eligibility criteria. In our area we estimate around 3,000 people would currently qualify for the medication based on national eligibility criteria. Until then, please do not contact your GP or Community Pharmacy (or any other NHS healthcare provider) to access this medicine as they are currently unable to prescribe this.” Let's Get Better ➡️ https://letsgetbetter.co.uk/weight-management/
