Weight Loss Information

South Yorkshire does not fund GPs to prescribe weight loss injections for obesity. Mounjaro can currently only be prescribed by specialist services. If you would like to refer yourself to weight management, please use this link: https://www.more-life.co.uk/places-we-work/sheffield/

 

The criteria for NHS-funded weight loss injections are currently:

BMI ≥ 50 kg/m2

OR

BMI of at least 35 kg/m2* and at least four weight-related co-morbidities from the list below:

  • Hypertension
    Dyslipidaemia
  • Obstructive sleep apnoea
  •  Atherosclerotic cardiovascular disease
  •  Type 2 diabetes mellitus
 

You will need to undertake and complete the 12 week morelife programme above AND meet the above criteria to be referred.

Please let us know your weight and height as we will need this for any referrals.
