Presented by:
KATE BERRIDGE, Clinical Nurse Specialist in Metabolic Bariatrics, Founder of Your Weigh Team Weight Management Specialists
With the rapidly changing landscape around obesity care both in Aotearoa New Zealand and overseas, more people are accessing non-surgical and surgical interventions to improve their long-term health. This webinar will be an overview of current available treatments and will focus on how to support patients regardless of modality, medication or surgery.
Kate is the founder and director of the unique nursing-based metabolic bariatric patient aftercare service – Your Weigh Team – and Aotearoa/New Zealand’s most experienced metabolic bariatric nurse specialist.
She mostly works with patients in the long term, in the months to years after their surgery, when people often face weight regain and mental and emotional overwhelm. It’s now including more and more people using GLP-1 medications after, or instead of, surgery.
This webinar will be of interest to a wide variety of health professionals working with those who struggle with the chronic condition of obesity.
