Please see the information below, created by Beeston, Middleton & Hunslet PCN, which details a variety of local services focused on weight management and physical activity for patients in our community. This leaflet highlights several programmes, including free NHS-supported digital resources, group-based interventions, community activities and options tailored for children and families. The services cater to a diverse range of patient needs and eligibility, particularly for those managing conditions such as diabetes or high blood pressure, as well as individuals seeking to adopt healthier lifestyle choices.
Please note, we will be closed for staff training from 12.00pm on Tuesday 16th September 2025 and re-open again on Wednesday 17th September at 8.00am.
Should you require medical assistance, please contact 111 or in case of an emergency, please dial 999.
We’re aware of recent media coverage about the weight loss treatment Mounjaro (tirzepatide). This medication is being rolled out gradually across the NHS in a phased way. That means not everyone who may benefit will be able to get it right away. At first, it will only be offered to people with serious health risks linked to their weight. If you are eligible, the NHS will contact you directly.
We understand that it may feel frustrating or disappointing if you're not eligible for Mounjaro at this time - even if you’ve been hoping for this kind of support. Please know that other help is available, and we are committed to offering compassionate, personalised care to everyone who needs it.
Please do not contact us about this treatment.

Every year, about £18 million worth of medicines go to waste in West Yorkshire. This includes things like inhalers, pain medicine and creams.
The NHS needs your help! Follow these easy steps when ordering your medicines:
How you can help
- Only order what you need - before getting more, check what medicines you already have.
- Return extras - when picking up your medicines at the pharmacy, only take what you need. If you return something before leaving, it can likely be reused.
- Stick to your routine - order your medicines when you're running low (7-10 days before it's needed), and no earlier.
By doing this, you will:
- Get the right medicines and care
- Help reduce waste
- Save NHS resources
- Help reduce environmental harm
It’s also safer! Keeping too much medicine can cause confusion, especially if your prescription changes, and/or harm to children and pets in the home, if it comes into their reach.
You are encouraged to speak with your GP or pharmacy team if there are repeat medicines you no longer need or want to take any more. A more appropriate plan will then be discussed with you if necessary.

If you are controlled, hurt or frightened by your partner or a family member, remember that it is not your fault and you are not alone.

The UK Health Security Agency (UKHSA) prevents, prepares for and responds to infectious and environmental hazards, to keep all our communities safe. UKHSA have launched their Keep Antibiotics Working Campaign to raise awareness of the importance of using antibiotics in the right way.
Andi Biotic, an anthropomorphic pill, is on a mission to spread the word about the importance of antibiotics and using them correctly, so we can keep antibiotics working.
What are antibiotics?
Antibiotics are used to treat serious bacterial infections. They kill bacteria or prevent them from spreading, but they do not work for everything. Many mild infections, including those that aren’t caused by bacteria, can get better on their own without antibiotics.
What is antibiotic resistance?
This is when germs/bacteria can defeat the antibiotics designed to kill them. The overuse of antibiotics has made them less effective and has led to the emergence of “superbugs”.
What can we do about it?
We all need to worry about antibiotic resistance. Even if you have never taken them before, there will come a time when you may need them. By then they may no longer work.
What can we all do to help?
- Never share antibiotics with others
- Never store or save antibiotics for another time
- Take antibiotics as prescribed by a healthcare professional
- NEVER demand antibiotics and always follow the advice of the healthcare professionals
