Patient information update regarding Tirzepatide, (Mounjaro injections)
The current information we have from Derby and Derbyshire Integrated Care Board is that in December 2024, NICE, (National Institute of Clinical Excellence), approved the injectable medication use of Mounjaro by the NHS for people over the 18 who are living with obesity and other weight-related issues.
NHS England has developed a 12-year implementation plan to roll this out for weight loss in primary care to prioritised patient cohorts.
The Derby and Derbyshire Integrated Care Board, and commissioning teams are currently working to develop a service to enable prescribing in primary care. However, there is no current service in place yet.
This means at present, we are unable to prescribe these medications.
We will, of course, be in contact with patients who meet the criteria for these injections once we have the information from the integrated care board about how these medications will be prescribed.
Further information for patients can be found at Tirzepatide, Joined Up Care Derbyshire
Thank you again, Vernon Street and The Lanes Medical Centre.
