Changing Computer System July 31st to 8th August 2025
Please be aware that we are changing our clinical computer systems to EMIS from the 31st July to 8th August. During this period there will be temporary disruptions to our services emergency appointments and no routine appointments in this period due to the complexities involved in migrating to a new clinical system.
You will be unable to order prescriptions via the NHS app during this time. The NHS app will be switched off on Wednesday 30th July until 8th August. As a result we will be issuing 2 months worth of prescriptions during this changeover of systems.
We appreciate your patience and understanding as we work to minimize any inconvience.
From 11th August we will be adjusting to working with the new system so please be patient whilst we adapt to the new ways of working.
Update on Mounjaro Weight-Loss Injections
Posted 19th May 2025
Butetown Medical Practice are starting to see a sharp increase in enquiries about weight loss drugs recently announced in the media – in-particular Mounjaro. We have also seen an increase in patients accessing weight loss jabs through private providers.
We ask that you DO NOT contact your GP surgery to try and obtain Mounjaro for weight loss as your GPs cannot prescribe Mounjaro for weight loss on the NHS.
Please can you inform us if you have been commenced on them elsewhere in case of complications or interactions with medications that we prescribe.
