From Today, GP practices are allowed to prescribe Mounjaro for weight management. Please be aware Aldborough Surgery is currently unable to offer this treatment.
In line with the BMA advice, it is recommended that GP practices do not prescribe patients with Mounjaro for weight loss/obesity as they have not been safely resourced locally to do so.
The ICB has confirmed it will not be commissioning a service for general practice and instead will commission a community service.
Whilst this service is being set up, patients who meet the criteria can be referred to the new community Tier 3 weight management service from Oviva via a GP referral. If you would like to know more, please book a routine telephone appointment.
