Beyond Bias: How to Combat Weight Stigma in Healthcare for Better Patient Outcomes

Discover the hidden impact of weight stigma in healthcare on patients in Australia. This guide reveals how bias leads to healthcare avoidance and why embracing inclusive practices is vital for improving health outcomes for everyone. Learn to foster better care beyond conventional approaches.

The Importance of Size-Inclusive Healthcare: Enhancing Patient Outcomes

Size-inclusive healthcare is essential for improving patient outcomes. At Laneways Rehabilitation, we foster acceptance, respect, and weight-neutral care, ensuring everyone feels valued and empowered on their journey to better health.

We prioritise patient-first language, using ‘living in a larger body.’ While we acknowledge ‘obesity’ as a medical term, we limit its use to clinical discussions. We’re committed to reducing weight bias and promoting inclusive care.
