Mounjaro (weight loss injections) - update for patients
Thinking about Mounjaro (tirzepatide) injections for weight loss?
Heard you can now get them from the NHS?
But…
Only for very specific groups of patients with a number of particular health conditions - estimated to only be a handful of patients in each practice.
And…
The details of how GPs will be able to provide these injections have still not been agreed.
So…
Please don’t make an appointment about Mounjaro yet - we are very likely to have to disappoint.
[We will contact eligible patients if and when we are able to provide Mounjaro / We will provide further information on our website and other channels if and when we are able to provide Mounjaro.]
Also…
Even when details of how GPs can provide Mounjaro have been agreed, we will need to arrange training and set up clinics, which will take time.
We want to help as many patients as we can, but are limited by the plans of the ICB based on NHS England requirements.
Summary:
Please help us to help you - we will tell you as soon as we can help you with Mounjaro, so please don’t make appointments about this right now"

Online GP Registration
We are using a new online service called Register with a GP that makes it easier to register with this GP surgery.

The service is designed and run by the NHS, so your personal information is safe. It cuts our administrative workload and makes it easier for you to register.
