About

In this rapidly evolving era for weight loss, this study day is aimed at all members of the primary and community health care team who care and support people who are overweight.

This study day will be an interactive and relaxed day exploring the big picture and in light of the NHS Long Term Plan, our specific role as part of the NHS. It is delivered by clinical and psychological professionals (with no industry connections).

Obesity is a growing healthcare problem affecting around 1 in 4 adults in UK. Living with obesity can have a significant impact on physical and emotional wellbeing. Losing weight can be challenging and lost weight usually returns. There is no miracle solution, and one approach does not fit all.

At the end of the day, delegates will:

  • Understand the importance of obesity and its impact on physical and emotional well being
  • Understand the role and impact of the weight loss jabs
  • Gain an appreciation of the current national and NHS environment re weight loss jab management both the strengths and weaknesses
  • Experience a practical approach to having the difficult conversation when a patient does not receive the prescription they want.
