HSE National Obesity Management Clinical Programme

The HSE National Obesity Management Clinical Programme was set up as a joint initiative between the HSE and Royal College of Physicians of Ireland in 2017. The aim of the programme is to provide clinical leadership for treatment services for children, young people and adults with overweight and obesity. The Clinical Programme is focusing on four key objectives to achieve this aim: developing a Model of Care for obesity services, increasing access to and quality of existing services, developing training and education for healthcare professionals and increasing public knowledge and awareness of obesity. The Programme hosts an annual Summer School for the public, policy makers and healthcare practitioners to learn about obesity care in Ireland.
