Resource Overview
This module, which is composed of 10 clinically-rich questions, discusses current approaches to the management of obesity. There has been a considerable emphasis placed on understanding the regulation of appetite and, in consequence, there is a growing pharmaceutical armamentarium of use in weight management. This module discusses the evidence relating to weight management, including bariatric surgical intervention.
Work through the questions, reflect upon your answers and take advantage of the further reading available in order to improve your knowledge and understanding of obesity and weight management.
