We’re aware that the recent national announcement about Mounjaro (tirzepatide) is generating significant public interest:
- Mounjaro is being gradually rolled out in GP practices as part of wider support for people living with obesity
- It is only available to a very limited number of patients in the first year, based on strict NHS criteria
- Eligibility includes a BMI of 40 or more and at least four serious weight-related health conditions
- Patients must also take part in a structured support programme (wraparound care) including healthy eating and physical activity.
Please do not contact your GP practice. We will not be able to prescribe this medication to you for weight management until arrangements are in place. Eligible patients will be contacted directly by their practice or the NHS in due course
