Transforming Approaches to Obesity and CRM Care

Transforming Approaches to Obesity and CRM Care
Free 5.5 CPD Hours
Holiday Inn Leicester, 5.5 CPD Hours
Tue 9 Feb 2027 08:30-16:15

Strengthen your ability to identify obesity-related risk earlier, make informed treatment decisions and protect long-term organ health, physical function and quality of life.


This dedicated educational conference will bring together obesity and diabetes specialist nurses, cardiology and heart failure nurses, renal and CKD nurses, dietitians, pharmacists, GPs and practice nurses, alongside endocrinologists, diabetologists, cardiologists, nephrologists and other clinicians working across obesity and cardio-renal-metabolic care. Take one day out to explore a broader approach to obesity management that addresses cardiovascular, renal, metabolic and liver health alongside weight loss.


By focusing on early intervention, organ protection, physical function and disease prevention, this innovative training forum will explore how integrated and collaborative approaches can improve long-term outcomes. Don’t miss out on this unique opportunity to build your knowledge and confidence in established and new treatments and identify how these can be applied across obesity and cardio-renal-metabolic care.
