You may have seen the news about Tirzepatide (Mounjaro) now being available on prescription from your GP.

While this is welcome news, in order to be eligible, the following criteria apply:
BMI of at least 40 and 4 out of 5 other health conditions:
Type 2 diabetes
High blood pressure
Heart disease
Obstructive sleep apnoea
Abnormal blood fats

GP practices have already identified those patients who meet the criteria and they are now waiting for the final service specification from Lincolnshire ICB (the organisation that is responsible for planning the health services for our local populations).
Once this is finalised, if you are eligible, your GP will get in touch as soon as possible.

For more information please check out the link on the ICB website which should answer your questions.

From March 2025, you can be prescribed tirzepatide (Mounjaro®) to manage your weight on the NHS. See information and FAQs.

Tasburgh Lodge Surgery, Woodhall Spa Patient Participation Group (PPG) have had a busy year with meetings, queue monitoring vaccination clinics.

"We are proud to represent Tasburgh Lodge Surgery at a range of meetings, including the Lincolnshire ICB Locality and County Patient Councils and digital co-production sessions. Additionally, we have participated in the Meridian Medical PCN PPG meetings.

"Most importantly, we hosted monthly sessions with Lincs Digital to help anyone in the population to become IT literate. One member of our team devoted many hours to this.

" Our notice board has been revamped and we now have a dedicated email address. We welcome new members, especially younger patients involved." Tasburgh Lodge Surgery PPG
