The UK has the fastest growing rate of obesity in Europe with one
in five adults classified as being obese. The increasing incidence
of obese and overweight children is of equal concern where the
rates mirror those of adults. This is a practical guide for GPs
practice and community nurses and other health professionals in
primary care. Illustrated with case scenarios examples of good
practice and practice protocols it describes how to incorporate
clinical governance with best practice in preventing and managing
obesity and overweight problems. The book provides templates for
personal practice and professional development plans that can be
used as part of GPs' revalidation portfolios. Reflective exercises
at the end of each chapter help to identify learning and service
needs and useful data are included on the National Obesity Forum
Guidelines together with sources of information and relevant
websites. Topics include effective interventions motivation and
influence adult and child diets myths and co-existing medical
conditions. 'What we desperately need is a reliable evidence-based
workshop manual for managing obesity. This book fits the bill. Ruth
Chambers and Gill Wakley have long track records for highlighting
important issues in general practice. In this book they team up
with experts in obesity producing a book which I suspect will
develop well-thumbed pages in a short space of time.' Ian Banks in
