Update on Mounjaro (Tirzepatide) for Weight Loss

You may have seen reports in the news this morning that the NHS can now prescribe Mounjaro (tirzepatide) for weight loss. However, we have received guidance from our local Integrated Care Board (ICB) stating that Mounjaro is not yet available for prescribing for weight loss in our area. Click here for more information.

As a result, we are currently unable to offer GP appointments specifically to discuss Mounjaro for this purpose.

We understand that this may be disappointing news. Please be assured that if local prescribing guidance changes, we will update our procedures accordingly and inform patients as soon as possible.

Thank you for your understanding.
