From the end of June 2025, for one year, the people below may be eligible to receive tirzepatide (Mounjaro) on the NHS. This is to ensure patients at greatest risk become eligible first:

People with at least 4 of the following 5 health conditions plus a BMI of at least 40 (BMI to be adjusted for ethnicity)
* Type 2 diabetes mellitus
* High blood pressure
* Heart disease
* Obstructive sleep apnoea (when your breathing stops and starts while you sleep)
* Abnormal blood fats ( dyslipidaemia)
Due to an increased risk of health conditions at lower BMI thresholds in the following populations, the BMI used to assess eligibility for tirzepatide will be 2.5kg/m2 lower for people from South Asian, Chinese, other Asian, Middle Eastern, Black African or African -Caribbean ethnic backgrounds.

You don`t know what happened on the call they just took .....

In a recent survey carried out amongst Managers an astonishing 80% reported that their reception teams suffered abuse on the telephone every single day, with the majority reporting this happened numerous times a day.

The IGPM has launched a new public campaign to show how the calls the reception team takes daily can impact their mental health and wellbeing.

`Receptionists are not `just admin`--they are patient advocates, navigating complex systems to get people the care they need. They are the gateway to the clinical team, and without them, there is no access. But constant abuse is pushing them to breaking point. Burnout is rising, and we are losing skilled staff who can no longer absorb the emotional toll. We have launched a campaign today as a call for compassion---because protecting our reception teams protects access to care.

Robyn Clark, Managing Partner and IGPM Director said " General Practice is busier then ever. Staff at all levels are feeling the pressure, but often none more so than our front-of-house teams.

Patient expectations are getting harder to manage. The desire of an immediate service has spread from the retail and hospitality sectors into public health service too, leading to increased frustration and abuse levelled towards staff whose only aim is to try and help.

90% of contacts with the NHS happen every day in general practice, and that all starts by speaking to the GP Reception Team. These staff hear things that will break most people`s hearts. They hear them every day. The emotional weight of patient stories is very heavy. But they are doing their best to help people in need, to give them the time to tell their story and arrange the help required. Sadly, too often they are met with hostility and vitriol from patients who don`t understand the integral, but difficult role they perform.

This campaign aims to educate patients on the complexity of the role, the emotional burden that it brings with it, and encourages them to support our front-of-house staff who are just trying to help.
