    Project Details

    Description

    Our research aims to develop an evidence based complete treatment program that can be delivered by GPs to their overweight/obese patients within their own practices. We will complete a systematic review of current evidence and review current Australian guidelines. This review will be used to develop a concise treatment strategy manual for GPs suitable for use in consultations along with a self-management workbook for patients. We will then seek feedback from GPs and patients on the program that will be used to further develop the resource. Ultimately, in further research, this program will be used in a randomised controlled trial in general practice. This will be a powerful resource that GPs can use to assist overweight/obese patients around Australia.
