NHS begins rollout of weight-loss jabs to patients in England
From 23rd June 2025 the phased roll-out of Mounjaro (weight loss injections) begins.
Over the next 3 years 220,000 patients in England will be eligible however initially only a very small group of patients will meet the criteria.
The initial group of patients is very small and we will pro-actively contact eligible patients. Patients will need to have a BMI of > 40 (adjusted for ethnicity) AND 4 out of 5 weight related long term conditions – type 2 diabetes, high blood pressure, heart and vascular disease, high cholesterol and obstructive sleep apnoea

If we do not have a recent weight on your record you can come and use the machine at The Avenue Surgery which will capture your BMI and blood pressure.
