With obesity rates continuing to rise in Aotearoa and related health conditions placing significant strain on individuals and the health system, there is growing interest in effective, evidence-based weight management strategies. This webinar will explore the role of bariatric surgery within the broader spectrum of treatment options, including newer medications and endoscopic interventions. It will cover the short-, medium-, and long-term outcomes of surgery, as well as the associated risks, benefits, and costs—supporting informed and equitable decision-making in primary and community care.
