Join an interactive discussion on improving care for patients living in larger bodies, sharing practical insights from my 12 years of experience.
Are you a healthcare provider who treats patients living in larger bodies(Hint: All of Us!) and notice that the care you provide differs (ahem, is worse) from the care given to those in smaller bodies?
That’s because healthcare has been designed for smaller people.
After 12 years of ‘getting it wrong’ as a physiotherapist working with plus-size patients in hospitals, aged care, and community healthcare settings, I’ve worked really hard to test, trial, and ask questions to provide equitable care to plus-size patients.
Join me for an interactive discussion about how we can set up our care services, upskill our staff (and if you are the staff, what you might like to implement) to provide excellent care to our patients in larger bodies.
Join me, Nadia Walton, a physiotherapist and bariatric care consultant, as we dive into obesity science and how we can develop our services.
Please come ready for a discussion—bring questions.
Who should attend: Healthcare and care providers interested in service, care, and skill improvement.

*We use “obese” as common medical language to convey expertise with larger bodies, but acknowledge it may be perceived as stigmatising to some people and affirm we work to reduce weight bias.
We acknowledge the Traditional Owners of the land where we work and live. We pay our respects to Elders past, present, and emerging. We celebrate the stories, culture, and traditions of Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander Elders of all communities who also work and live on this land..
