The Future of Obesity Treatment

An international multi-disciplinary state-of-the-art update

Dear Colleagues

Obesity and its consequences are set to become one of the most important health care issues of the next few decades. Neither public health policy nor the available medical treatments have been able to consistently address the obesity epidemic, which continues to affect patients' health, quality of life and the wider impact on society. We believe that the challenge needs to be addressed through a multidisciplinary approach involving and promoting collaboration across different specialities including physicians, surgeons, policy makers, commissioners and managers.

London 2012: The Future of Obesity Treatment aims to review the current status of obesity treatment and to discuss how best to address the challenges in the future.

We are privileged to have the world's leading authorities to address this challenging topic and we aim to make the meeting as interactive as possible with expert panel discussions and a final debate on the different treatment options.

The meeting is open to general practitioners, surgeons, physicians, diabetologists, endocrinologists, gastroenterologists, endoscopists, commissioners and managers, all of whom face their own specific challenges in this evolving field. Our invitation is also extended to trainees and allied health care professionals involved in the specialist management of patients suffering from obesity.

We are delighted to invite you to attend this state of the art International Symposium on 3 February 2012 at the Royal College of Physicians in London.
