Information regarding Mounjaro
A note about weight loss medication (Mounjaro)
We’ve seen a lot of information in the news recently about new weight loss medications like Mounjaro (Tirzepatide). We understand you may have questions, and we want to help.
The media has been reporting that this medication is now available through the NHS. However, it’s important to know that there are very strict eligibility criteria for who can be prescribed this. This is to make sure it is prescribed safely and to the patients who will benefit the most.
Please do not contact the practice or book an appointment to discuss weight loss medication.
If you are eligible, we will contact you directly. We know this can be frustrating, but this approach helps us manage our appointments and make sure we can see patients who need urgent care.

We are here to support you in your health journey. If you’re looking for help with weight loss, there are many resources available, even if you don’t meet the criteria for medication.
- Speak to a professional: Our GPs and nurses can provide advice and support on managing your weight. Please book a routine appointment to discuss this.
