You may have seen the news recently about Tirzepatide (Mounjaro) now being available on prescription from your GP. While this is welcome news, in order to be eligible, the following criteria apply:
BMI of at least 40 and 4 out of 5 other health conditions:
- Type 2 diabetes
- High blood pressure
- Heart disease
- Obstructive sleep apnoea
- Abnormal blood fats
GP practices in South Lincoln Healthcare Primary Care Network have already identified those patients who meet the criteria and they are now waiting for the final service specification from Lincolnshire ICB (the organisation that is responsible for planning the health services for our local populations). Once this is finalised, if you are eligible, your GP will get in touch as soon as possible.
For more information please check out the link on the ICB website which should answer your questions.

Patient Update – Cliff Villages Medical Practice
We would like to thank our patients for their continued support during this period of transition at Cliff Villages Medical Practice.
The Welby Group has been working closely with the existing practice team to help resume services as normal and to address any delays in care as quickly and safely as possible. Please understand that this may take a little time, and we truly appreciate your patience while these improvements are being made.
Our staff are working incredibly hard to support all patients and provide the best care they can within a very busy NHS environment. We kindly ask that all interactions with our team remain respectful and considerate. A calm and supportive approach helps us to assist you more effectively and ensures a positive environment for everyone.
As a gentle reminder, the practice operates a Zero Tolerance Policy in line with NHS guidance. This is in place to protect both patients and staff, and any unacceptable behaviour may be acted upon accordingly.
Thank you for your support, patience, and kindness as we continue to move forward together.

Moving to askmyGP from 12th May 2026
From Monday, 12th May 2026, our practice will be using askmyGP to help patients contact the surgery and request appointments online.
What is askmyGP?
askmyGP is an online service that allows you to contact the practice quickly and easily without needing to wait on the phone. You can request help or appointments for a range of health concerns at a time that suits you.
Using askmyGP, you can request appointments with:
- A GP or Advanced Nurse Practitioner (ANP)
- A Musculoskeletal Therapist / First Contact Practitioner (FCP)
- A Pharmacist
- A member of our Practice Nurse team
To use the service, simply click the “Request an Appointment” link on our website. You will then be taken to askmyGP where you can log in or create an account if you do not already have one.
Once logged in:
- Select New Request
- Choose the option most appropriate for your concern
- Submit your request
Our team will then review your request and contact you with the most appropriate appointment or advice. In some cases, we may ask for additional information or direct you to a more suitable service, such as a community pharmacy.
Other ways to contact us

Our team will still be available to help patients access the care they need.
Appointments may be offered:
- By telephone
- Face to face at the surgery
- By video call
- By digital correspondence
- Or with another provider more appropriate for your symptoms
Surgery Opening Hours

Please note that clinicians may not always be on-site at certain times of the day. If your medical concern is urgent, please:
- Contact NHS 111 online or by phone
- Attend your nearest Urgent Treatment Centre or A&E if appropriate
Thank you for your patience and support while we introduce this new system.
We hope askmyGP will make accessing our services easier and more convenient for patients.
