⚠ Weight Loss Injections – NHS Access Update
Seen the headlines about Mounjaro® and Wegovy® now available on the NHS?
Here’s the truth:
🚫 GPs in our locality, including Manor View Practice, CANNOT currently prescribe these medications for weight loss.
✅ Access is via a strict NHS rollout, with very limited availability.
To qualify, you must have:
🔹 A BMI over 40+ or, 37.5 if you’re from Black, Asian or other minority background.
AND
🔹 At least 4 of the following:
• Type 2 Diabetes
• High Blood Pressure
• High Cholesterol
• Sleep Apnoea
• Cardiovascular Disease
If you don’t meet all criteria, you won’t be eligible under current NHS rules.
📌 We kindly ask that you don’t book GP appointments solely to request weight loss injections. These aren’t currently available through the practice, and doing so can affect access for patients who need medical care.
If you’re eligible, NHS services will contact you directly.
