A new community-based weight management service is set to launch this summer with the new weight management ‘Tirzepatide’ medication (brand name Mounjaro®) being made available to NHS patients to support weight loss. Availability of the drug will be on a pahsed and prioritised basis and patients will need to fulfill the criteria.
