EASO & WONCA Europe Webinar for Family Doctors and Primary Care Physicians

EASO & WONCA Europe Webinar for Family Doctors and Primary Care Physicians

Mark your calendars for this professional development opportunity

On March 3rd, 2025, the European Association for the Study of Obesity (EASO) and WONCA Europe are joining forces to deliver our annual World Obesity Day webinar, designed especially for family doctors and GPs.

This 90-minute session (5:00-6:30 PM UK / 6:00-7:30 PM CET), will provide crucial insight into the latest developments in obesity management within primary care settings.

This year our webinar features a comprehensive overview of the updated EASO Obesity Diagnostic and Management Framework, an essential tool for providing evidence-based care to patients living with obesity.

Obesity is increasingly recognised as a chronic disease requiring nuanced understanding and multidisciplinary management. Family doctors are often the first point of contact for patients seeking help. This webinar will equip delegates with practical knowledge and tools to better serve patients and improve outcomes.

The session promises to be interactive and focused on real-world applications, helping doctors bridge the gap between clinical guidelines and daily practice.

Registration is now open. Join colleagues across Europe for this important educational event.
