Stifford Clays Medical Practice

As a Group Practice, we aim to provide a high-quality service for our patients, with an emphasis on evidence-based medicine. It is especially important for us to reflect upon how we manage our patients. Where necessary, we will have discussions with our NHS colleagues for added support. The Partners meet every morning to share information and discuss any issues that have arisen. Regular staff meetings also take place. Our Practice aims for consistency in its work ethic between all clinicians.

In mid and south Essex, Mounjaro is only available through the specialist Tier 3 weight management service and is prioritised for patients with the highest clinical need. 

If you're currently paying for Mounjaro privately and would like to access it through the NHS, please be aware that you must meet the local NHS eligibility criteria at the time you are referred to the Tier 3 weight management service.

Please note that acceptance onto the Tier 3 weight management service does not guarantee access to the medication, as it may not be clinically suitable for everyone on the programme. In addition, access to the drug on the NHS must also be accompanied by wraparound dietary and physical activity support.

If you are currently paying for Mounjaro privately for weight loss and now wish to stop or taper off the drug, please speak with your private provider.

Visit the NHS Mid and South Essex website for further information about access to Mounjaro, as well as details of wider weight management support services.
