Module 1: Developing Attitudes and Addressing Barriers

In this module you have learnt to consider and hopefully address some of your own barriers to addressing obesity.

In the next two modules you will be learning some of the skills and techniques to support your patients in behavioural change.

  • Module 2 is an introduction to motivational interviewing, working with patients who may be ambivalent about change.
  • Module 3 will help you to structure a brief behavioural change intervention. It also covers when and how to consider medical and specialist interventions, such as Orlistat, counselling and surgery.
