We recognise it can be difficult for some people living with obesity to access the support they feel they need and that those most likely to benefit from this medication may wish to access it as soon as possible. 

We are committed to updating the public on related service developments as they occur. Meanwhile, please don’t call your GP or make an appointment online with your GP to ask for tirzepatide while treatment arrangements are being finalised.

Please signpost patients to the NHS Gloucestershire website for further information about tirzepatide :www.nhsglos.nhs.uk/your-health-services/healthy-communities/weight-loss-medication/
