We are experiencing an increasing volume of enquiries relating to the private prescription of weight loss injections (such as Mounjaro, Wegovy).
If you are seeking these treatments privately, please be aware that the decision to prescribe rests with the prescriber and therefore our clinicians will not advise or give an opinion on your suitability for the treatment. It is up to the prescriber to be satisfied that the treatment is safe and appropriate. In order to do so they may require access to information from your medical record. In this instance we would advise you to present your healthcare record from the NHS app or the EMIS Patient access app.
The Patient Access app now uses the same sign-on as the NHS app, but has the additional functionality that it can generate a PDF summary of your medical record which will include a list of your medical conditions and medication (the NHS app cannot yet do this). If this is unsuccessful you can request a “patient summary” by submitting an admin query on our online contact form, this is likely to take longer so we suggest you try the app first if possible.
