Humber & North Yorkshire Weight Management Service

We’re pleased to share some long-awaited news: from 6th October 2025, the Humber and North Yorkshire Weight Management Service is open for referrals.

This NHS-commissioned service gives you access to the weight loss injection Tirzepatide (Mounjaro®) for up to 1 year, combined with a required 9-month lifestyle support programme. You will need to actively engage with the lifestyle programme to maintain eligibility.

Eligibility
The criteria are set by NHS England, and for the first cohort you may qualify if you have:

A BMI of 40 or above (or 37.5 or above for people from South Asian, Chinese, other Asian, Middle Eastern, Black African, or African-Caribbean backgrounds)

AND
At least four of the following health conditions:
• Heart or circulation problems (heart attack, angina, stroke)
• High blood pressure
• High cholesterol
• Sleep apnoea
• Type 2 diabetes

If you have Type 2 diabetes, a separate set of criteria applies for accessing Tirzepatide. Your GP can explain this.

Important note: This is a separate NHS-commissioned service, entirely independent of Gilberdyke Health Centre.

Your GP cannot influence or interfere with the selection process or the way the service operates.

Eligible referrals are reviewed by Yorkshire Health Partners (YHP). If accepted, you’ll be referred to a community pharmacist who will manage your weight loss injection treatment over the year.

How to get started?

You can self-refer online:
https://yorkshirehealthpartners.co.uk/weight-loss-management-service

Find more details about the service here:

https://letsgetbetter.co.uk/weight-management/

If you’re unsure about your BMI or want a reference point, you can use the NHS adult BMI calculator tool here:

https://www.nhs.uk/health-assessment-tools/calculate-your-body-mass-index/

The NHS provides a wide range of advice and tools to support healthy weight loss. We understand that many people are looking for support in managing their weight and so we’re working hard to improve access to services and new treatments for people living with obesity.

‼️*ONLINE ACCESS SCAM*‼️
Please be aware, patients in some parts of England are receiving WhatsApp messages notifying them they need to contact their GP, with a link to access online appointments. This looks to be from the computer software company we use (systm online) The link then requests either payment, or bank details to verify identity. Please be extra vigilant and do not open any links or give bank details or personal details out.
