Welcome to Tinkers Lane Surgery
At Tinkers Lane Surgery, our doctors and nurses deliver a wide range of NHS services to support our patients.
AVAILABILITY OF TIRZEPATIDE (MOUNJARO) WITHIN GP PRACTICES
Reports in the media are stating that from Monday 23rd June 2025 patients who have a BMI of at least 40 and are living with four or more obesity-related conditions should be able to access Tirzepatide (Mounjaro ®) in a primary care setting. Contrary to these reports, there is currently no mechanism for GPs at the Practice to prescribe weight loss medications such as Mounjaro, with the exception of diabetic patients as has been the case for a number of years.
Patients are asked not to contact their GP practice with requests for weight loss treatment at this time. We will provide an update once further information becomes available to us.
