Urgent advice: Registrations
Due to current pressures on the practice, we have taken the decision to limit the number of new patient registrations at the Pavilion Surgery.
This means the patient registration process will operate in a different way and could involve registering with an alternative practice.
For assistance with finding a GP Surgery in Brighton please visit www.nhs.uk/service-search/find-a-gp
However we will continue to register the following patients in the usual way:
· Newborn or adopted babies of parents already registered at the practice
· First degree relatives of patients already registered at the Practice who are living at the same address as registered patients
Weight Loss
The NHS have launched the ability for patients to be prescribed Weight Loss Injections on the NHS free of charge. There is a strict criteria for this:
BMI (Body Mass Index) of 40 or greater and four or more of the following diagnosed health conditions:
- type 2 diabetes
- Hypertension
- Cardiovascular disease
- Obstructive sleep apnoea
- Dyslipidaemia
Within Sussex patients will only be able to access this if they meet the criteria. Those patients eligible will be contacted by the Pavilion Surgery so there is no need to contact us.
In the meantime we will NOT take any requests or appointments for patients to receive NHS funded treatment for weight loss injections.
ELIGIBLE Patients MUST wait until they are contact by us to discuss their options.
We understand that some people may feel frustrated or disappointed if they are not eligible for medication-based treatments at this stage.
Living with obesity can be emotionally and physically challenging, and it is completely normal to experience a range of feelings when seeking support for your health. If you are finding things difficult, NHS Talking Therapies offers free and confidential help for people who may be struggling with low mood, anxiety or other emotional pressures.
To find out more about obesity treatment and the support available see the NHS Sussex website: www.sussex.ics.nhs.uk
