Module Aims
To enhance the knowledge and clinical skills required to effectively evaluate and treat obesity with emphasis on personalised care, nutrition, physical activity and behavioural modification.
Content Summary
• Analysis of specific obesity treatment guidelines.
• Behaviour change theories and models and the clinical evaluation of the patient living with obesity to understand the obstacles to changes in behaviour and the implementation of specific strategies of behavioural modification.
• Psychological strategies to promote behaviour change, including cognitive behavioural therapy and motivational interviewing.
• Key concepts in human nutrition (e.g. glycaemic index and glycaemic load).
• Hydration and obesity.
• The evidence for nutritional interventions in personalised weight management and their application in clinical practice, including appraisal of selected and specific dietary approaches such as low-fat, low-carbohydrate and plant-based diets.
• Appraisal of physical activity interventions and increased energy expenditure in the personalised management of obesity, including the effect of different exercise programmes on BMI, adiposity, fat distribution and obesity-related risk factors.
• Critically appraising the role and responsibilities of the multi-disciplinary team in the implementation and delivery of personalised weight management.
