The social stigma associated with overweight and obesity can affect career prospects and self-confidence (NICE)

Do you struggle to use the word obesity with patients?

Can your/our weight make a difference in what patients think?

How do you feel about body weight?

Having those difficult conversations with patients can be, well, difficult.

Are your patients asking for the ‘jab’ as a ‘quick-fix’ weight loss solution?

Would you like to better support them in managing their expectations of semaglutide drugs?

• Join Michaela in a safe environment to find out more about how you can help both you and your patients with weight and physical activity
• Learn more about the Adult Weight Management Service in Richmond and Wandsworth, tier services, referral criteria and pathways
• Come and meet the Enable weight management team – understand the referral pathway and take part in a mini-taster session
• Update your knowledge of the latest local guidelines, including BMI thresholds and NICE guidance on using semaglutides to manage overweight and obesity.
