Commissioned as Lifestyle.
Lived as Disease.
Date: 4 March
Time: 7–8pm
Location: Online (Zoom)
Obesity affects millions of people across the UK. It impacts physical health, mental wellbeing, confidence, employment, relationships and access to healthcare.
Despite growing recognition that obesity is a chronic disease, support remains inconsistent, fragmented and often short-term.
This World Obesity Day, Obesity UK is hosting a live online event to explore:
- The lived reality of obesity
- Gaps in current support systems
- Life before, during and after treatment
- The importance of psychological and peer support
- What long-term, compassionate care should look like
This event is open to:
- People living with obesity
- Healthcare professionals
- Commissioners
- Researchers
- Policymakers
- Anyone who wants to understand more
Lived experience will be central to the discussion.
Registration is free but required.
