Patient notice – Tirzepatide (Mounjaro)

We are aware that a message is circulating on local social media suggesting that Tirzepatide (Mounjaro) will be available for weight loss prescriptions from GPs starting 23rd June. As a result, we have received a high volume of enquiries.

Please note that while the guidance refers to ‘primary care’, this does not mean individual GP practices. We have been explicitly advised not to prescribe this medication.

Find out more about Mounjaro (Tirzepatide) access in Cheshire and Merseyside on the ICB website.

Accessing someone else’s information

As a parent, family member or carer, you may be able to access services for someone else. We call this having proxy access. We can set this up for you if you are both registered with us.

To request proxy access:

  • collect a proxy access form from reception during opening times

Linked profiles in your NHS account

Once proxy access is set up, you can access the other person’s profile in your NHS account, using the NHS App or website.

The NHS website has information about using linked profiles to access services for someone else.
