Getting the conversation started at Musgrove Park Hospital
Our aim was to start the conversation about obesity, so we can begin to challenge our beliefs and start educating ourselves about the complexity of the disease. It is time to shift the focus from diets to other factors that contribute to weight gain. Once we have a greater understanding of this, we will be able to provide our patients with the care they deserve and speed up access to the services they sometimes are denied.
We believe the day was a successful first step towards further open discussions.
We are thankful to all the staff and visitors, who stopped by and had a chat with us. We were glad to hear their views and discuss different topics, such as stigma, biology, genes, language, food choices, etc.
