PLEASE NOTE: Until further notice, Earl Soham Surgery will be
closed on Friday's, due to staff shortages. Please contact Framlingham Surgery on 01728 723627. We apologise for
any inconvenience. PATIENT INFORMATION - You may have seen recent media reports stating that GPs can now prescribe
weight-loss injections like Mounjaro. While this is true nationally, in our area (Suffolk and |North East Essex), GPs
are not commissioned to provide these medications directly for weight loss. Instead, the local NHS has chosen a
Community Outreach service model. This means access is only available through a specialist NHS weight management
service (WMCOS). Please do not book a GP appointment just to request Mounjaro. Your GP will not be able to prescribe
it outside of the community specialist pathway. For more information, please see our Practice News page.
