A half day training workshop open to all clinical and non-clinical GP staff on how to achieve healthy weight in adults through a lifestyle approach.


Unhealthy weight and obesity is a growing problem in all regions of the UK and for both adults and children. As well as a major public health concern and of significant impact to individual health and quality of life, there is a significant impact on the National Health Service.

We know that GPs are trusted by patients as sources of advice and guidance for addressing unhealthy weight, but following such advice and making change is a challenge. GPs also lack time and sometimes the resources to provide the best advice at the best time.

The knowledge and advice of GPs imparted in a short consultation, using the techniques of effective brief intervention can have a significant impact in motivating and supporting positive change towards healthy lifestyles and healthy weight.
