Mounjaro

The NHS will be starting to offer Mounjaro weight loss injections this summer. This will be done in a staggered approach through community clinics in South East London rather than at the GP surgery. Please do not book a GP appointment to request weight loss injections, the clinic will be contacting patients as soon as they are eligible for the service.
