Important information about accessing Mounjaro (tirzepatide)

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.

Please do not contact your GP practice about this treatment.

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.

If you need further help with weight management, please see our dedicated page here.
