Do you work in an obesity service or are you trying to set one up in primary or secondary care? Are you a Health Care Professional attending the UK Congress on Obesity (UKCO) 2025?
This event is for you!
Date: Tuesday, 9th September 2025
Location: Suttie Centre Conference Room, Foresterhill Health Campus, Aberdeen
Join us for the upcoming Centres for Obesity Management (Adult COMs) meeting, a valuable opportunity for clinicians to stay up to date on the latest evidence and policies in obesity care.
The sessions will explore practical cases, demonstrate how these insights can be applied in clinical practice, and provide guidance on optimising clinical pathways.
Why Attend?
- Discuss challenging cases and get views from a broad multidisciplinary team
- Gain expert insights on obesity care pathways, guidelines and policies
- Network with fellow healthcare professionals working in the obesity field
- Have the opportunity to present a case study and discuss at the event*
In the last session, we will co-design a proposal for pragmatic clinical pathways that can be used to increase access to obesity care in the UK. The aim is to draft a manuscript detailing this proposal in which participants of the session can contribute as co-authors (if they wish).
*If you would like to present and discuss a case study at the event, please indicate this when asked in the registration form. You will then be contacted and invited to submit a 300 word abstract outlining your case study for review and selection by the committee.
