🗣️ Information on Weight-loss medications 🗣️

Medications such as Mounjaro (Tirzepatide) and Ozempic (Semaglutide) are not currently available for weight-loss prescriptions through GP practices, despite recent media coverage. Please do not contact your GP about them. NHS England and the local commissioning board are developing a plan for eligible patients, and we will share updates as soon as guidance is available.
