Do you want to…

  • effectively motivate, encourage and support your patients to achieve a healthy body weight?
  • provide overweight patients with the latest, evidence-based and practical information available?
  •  start weight management intervention earlier to reduce risk of chronic disease?
If YES, then this one day intensive training is for you.

This new course is an in depth training module for health professionals. It equips participants to provide information and support about weight management to clients as part of routine care. A range of resources will be provided and a significant amount of time on the day is dedicated to practicing the skills taught.

Trainers Stavroula Zandes and Alice Bastable facilitate the course. Stavroula has over 20 years’ experience delivering behaviour change training on a range of challenging topics. Alice is an experienced dietitian specialising in weight management and prevention of chronic disease.
