Weight loss injections

We are receiving a high number of enquiries about weight loss injections, particularly tirzepatide (Mounjaro®).

Please note that strict eligibility criteria apply, and only those with the highest clinical need will be able to access this treatment through the NHS at this stage.

 Currently, tirzepatide (Mounjaro®) is ONLY available to patients who:

 Have a BMI of 40 or more, AND

 Have been diagnosed with 4 or more of the following weight-related health conditions:

• High cholesterol (dyslipidaemia)

• High blood pressure (hypertension)

• Obstructive sleep apnoea

• Cardiovascular disease

• Type 2 Diabetes

This is part of a phased NHS rollout, and GPs cannot currently prescribe tirzepatide outside these strict criteria.

We understand that many people are looking for support with weight management. If you’re not eligible at this time, we can still discuss other options that may be appropriate for you.

Thank you for your understanding and cooperation.
