Obesity Medication Pathway

Following a NICE Technology Approval publication (TA1026) on 23 December 2024, tirzepatide (Mounjaro®) was recommended for use in Primary Care as a new setting of care, for managing obesity, alongside a reduced-calorie diet and increased physical activity in adults. There is an established eligibility criteria.

This standardised Integrated Patient Review Template has been rolled out on a national scale in England for all GP practices through NHS England’s GPIT Providers. It will support in the capture of essential data related to the NICE Funding Variation for the implementation of prescribing of tirzepatide (Mounjaro®) for the management of obesity.

This is not a clinical management template. This is to confirm assessment of the patient under the NHS Priority Cohorts under the NICE Funding Variation for tirzepatide (Mounjaro®) for the management of obesity in primary care. It is the prescriber’s responsibility to review the BNF cautions, medication interactions, SmPC and local criteria.
