Overview
How can innovative new community-based care pathways improve access to weight management services? We are interested in stimulating the provision of integrated community-based care services that combine components of obesity care navigation and service provision including preventative and treatment approaches.
About the event
Are you already working in weight management services or have relevant skills or services that could be used to support community-based service delivery?
This webinar will explore the potential to bring together existing and new service providers to provide innovative community-based approaches for the NHS to support patients accessing weight management services.
Obesity is the second biggest preventable cause of cancer and a major contributor to ill health. With obesity costing the UK health service more than £11 billion each year, action to tackle the condition is urgently needed. The Government has committed to working with industry to trial innovative approaches to treating obesity as part of a rounded package of care.
