Overview

Radcliffe Medical Education bring together a distinguished panel of globally renowned experts who provide guidance on navigating the ever-changing landscape of obesity and metabolic health management. 

 

Under the chairmanship of Prof Jason Halford (University of Leeds, UK), the panel including Dr Lee Kaplan (Obesity, Metabolism and Nutrition Institute, Massachusetts General Hospital, US), Dr Fatima Cody Stanford (Massachusetts General Hospital, US) and Prof Filip Knop (University of Copenhagen, DK) explore the pressing unmet needs in obesity management. The panel discuss how to leverage patient-reported outcomes to improve care, unveil emerging clinical and pre-clinical data and chart the course for future strategies in this critical field. Gain access to the forefront of metabolic health management, empowering you to make informed decisions and shape the future of patient care.

 

Susie Birney, representing the European Coalition for People Living with Obesity (ECPO) from Dublin, IE, provides invaluable insights from a patient advocacy standpoint, emphasising the importance of patient-reported outcomes. Her insights shed light on the lived experiences of individuals with obesity and the importance of incorporating patient-reported outcomes in the management of obesity and metabolic health.

 

Presented, and recorded, at ECO 2023 in Dublin, IE.

EASO 23 IME Symposium: What Matters to Patients: Metabolic Health Beyond Weight Loss’ program: Boehringer Ingelheim (BI) has provided funding for this program. BI has had no input into the agenda, presentations or collateral content. Radcliffe Medical retains full and sole editorial control.
