Diabetes Medicine Supply notification
There are very limited, intermittent supplies of GLP1’s. These are medicines licensed in the management of Type 2 Diabetes. E.g., Ozempic, Rybelsus, Trulicity, Victoza, Saxenda, Byetta and Bydureon.
Unfortunately, the supply is not expected to return to normal until at least mid-2024. The supply issues have been caused by an increase in demand for these products. If you are on one of these medications and are having problems with your supply, please contact our prescribing hub (bnssg.pmgprescriptions@nhs.net or 0117 9591919), and a member of the diabetes team will be in contact to review you.

Safe SurgeriesAt Pioneer we understand that everyone in the UK is entitled to register and consult with a GP. Access to health care can be especially difficult for vulnerable groups. Migrants, including refugees, asylum seekers and survivors of trafficking experience barriers to accessing care.
We are proud to be a Safe Surgery. Our priority is to provide a welcoming environment for everyone in our community and an equitable service for all of our patients. Follow link for info in various languages. |
