Obesity: The Solutions?

Obesity: The Solutions? was specifically developed for Health professionals who are interested in advancing their understanding of obesity and developing more practical methods for the management and treatment of obesity. The course is most suitable for GPs, doctors, nurses, physicians, surgeons, physiotherapists, dieticians, nutritionists, psychologists, and counsellors running weight-management clinics.

This course questions the current approach to obesity treatment and whether current advice on diet, exercise and lifestyle is appropriate. We explore the reasons for the lack of success of these current strategies in the context of the highly complex and interconnected array of influences on eating and physical activity behaviours which underpin obesity.

Obesity: The Solutions? considers the need for aims and treatment to be personalised, addressing the underlying causes of the individual’s weight gain, their co-morbidities and the drivers of their behaviour. Government policies, public health measures, community based initiatives, and current NHS obesity care pathways and strategies, are reviewed and alternatives discussed.
