Mounjaro (Tirzepatide) & the NHS Weight-Management Rollout

The NHS has started a phased rollout of a new weight-management medicine called Mounjaro (tirzepatide). At this stage, it will only be available to a very small number of people who meet strict national criteria.

Although NHS England has approved the drug, all GPs are waiting for information about how the drug will be provided to eligible patients, when, and for how long. The NHS in South East London (SELICB) are developing plans to be able to make this available to suitable people who meet specific clinical criteria to enable an NHS health professional to prescribe it.

While NHS South East London ICB are in the process of developing these plans, we ask patients not to contact the practice to request a prescription.
