Obesity: England’s most pressing healthcare challenge?
4 March 2022
Professor Rachel Batterham has worked with the The Royal College of Physicians to create a documentary that explores the latest science on how and why people develop obesity and the most recent available treatments.
Obesity is one of the biggest public health challenges facing the UK. In this new documentary, I meet leading experts and patients to consider what needs to be done to take meaningful action on this complex problem.
The film explores the latest science on how and why people develop obesity and the most recent available treatments. It considers obesity through the lens of health inequalities, how some groups are more affected than others, and how reducing stigma and elevating the patient voice are crucial in tackling the issue.
