    Join us for the latest in weight management.

    Obesity is a chronic, relapsing disease with complex biological, environmental and behavioural drivers and evidence-based lifestyle interventions remain the foundation of care. With advances in our understanding of obesity pathophysiology and the emergence of highly effective pharmacotherapies including upcoming oral GLP-1 RAs, clinical practice is being reshaped. 

    This webinar, presented by GP Rob Hungerford and endocrinologist A/Prof Sandra Neoh, will discuss the transition away from a "one-size-fits-all" approach towards personalised strategies that consider individual patient characteristics, comorbidities, new therapies and preferences.

    Ask us more! You’ll also get an opportunity to ask our experts your most pressing questions during the 30-minute open Q&A session as part of this webinar.
