It has been announced that the new weight management medication, Tirzepatide (brand name Mounjaro), will be available to NHS patients from the 23rd June.
While some people may qualify for the medication based on national eligibility criteria, it will not be available locally just yet. Please do not contact your GP as they are currently unable to help.
NHS Kent and Medway are working as quickly as possible to ensure we have sustainable services in our area to support this. In the meantime, we will continue to provide our current support offer for people eligible for help with weight management.
